First pics of the 08 blade, if your of that persuasion.
Looks like underseat exhausts are out..
I don't like it at all...

Fark, that's ugly. The arse is ver RC212V inspired, and will look alright with a fender eliminator, but the rounded front is fugly and pipe looks pretty shithouse. Let's hope the new 10 is a better looking bike

the front roundedness almost reminds me of the early 80's nsr500GP bike...

There is a new artists impression of the new 10 in the latest AMCN that came out today, I actually like it. Gone is the fat ugly under seat twin exhaust.

Relax. The "official Honda pictures" they refer to are Photoshops based on photographs taken of a TV showing a Honda promo for the new bike... go to the MCN website, find the story about the '08 'Blade and have a look at all five images there. Two of them show the new bike being ridden around a track. It's on the basis of those that they drew up those Photoshops using distended Ducati 1098 headlights, R6 muffler and swingarm and, as already pointed out, GSX-R mirrors... and, in the process, showed just how big a bunch of slackjaws they take the general motorcycling public to be.
This is a pretty graphic (boom-tissh) illustration (boom-boom-tissssssshhhhh) of why Poms say MCN stands for More Crap than News.

if only 1 web site is claiming to have the info and no one else, its obviously crap, take the 08 busa for example, if u type that into google u can find heaps of info on it, where as try 08 zx10r u will find nothing much that looks official!!
