2012 CBR1000RR - looks killer

The local shop just got one of these in and had it displayed in the front.
It looks sweet in photos, but so much sweeter in person. Gorgeous pearl white paint with the HRC graphics. The 'vintage' winged badge on the tank really contrasted well.
Not sure why they waited so long to bring the HRC paint job back. It also looked great on the VFR (2009?)
I just don't trust myself with a superbike, but this one looks like a doozy.

Honda's paint quality is hard to beat.
I hope to see one at the motorcycle show in Charlotte soon.

That is a pretty sexy looking sport bike. If I was in the market, it'd be on the short list. Nearly bought a 2008 when they were having the $4500 off mfgr rebate thing.

Yes it is very nice looking. Not a fan of that stubby exhaust though. They should just stuff the whole thing under the engine like Buell did and call it a day. Why have a stump sticking out the side?

Really? I love the "stubby" exhaust! The paint scheme is just perfect, too.

As far as stock exhaust systems go they did a pretty good looking job. Nice and small, and doesn't detract from the bike too much.

Saw it at the NYC IMS show, wow...the paint IS great. The pearl white has this incredible metallic fleck in it - it's a very high quality paint that seems to have bled over from some of their car work.

Looks nice. Hopefully it'll bump the price on a used 2008 down, which I still prefer. Paint looks great though.

Of all the ugly cans on the bikes this year I have to say, the CBR's is the best looking by far.
