The more I look the more I like the R's blue and white...

The R and the blue and white bikes are totally different.  The B/W machines are/were the SE's from 2009 and 2010.

I'm still a hateful kinda guy.

I would still rock the white/blue to Starbucks.

Doesn't JuddDDdddDddd do enough of that for the both of you?

I have to pick up his slack now that he is on extended vacation.

So what is the difference between the SE and the R's?

No one knows for certain, as there has not been any information coming out of Hinkley so far.  But from what you can tell in the pics, Ohlins bouncy bits and Brembo monobloc stoppy bits.  Rumor has it that it will come with a quickshifter from the factory as well...

848 would have little to no chance against the 675 in the speed stakes.

Just wanted to post this....

848 kicked some serious ass... faster than the 675 on the track (-1 second) and killed it in top speed. 848=271km/h, 675=256km/h

Quite disgusted with the blue/white, actually.  They look terrible up close.  Buddy had a black/gold limited 2009 Daytona (and promptly dropped it a month after buying new), that was the sex.

While this looks nice, how can you beat the Dark Stealth 848?

[DRKWNG]

Boooo!!!  No added scoot.

At least they're not using the standard OEM Ohlins bits though...

Too bad. I was hoping for the Pirate Edition

675aarrr!

Test rode a 675 today. I can't justify the premium cost of it when it felt so much like a Japanese inline 4.

premium cost? it's less than or equal to other supersports

yea, it's like an I4 but with a crazy midrange

The only way a 675 is at "premium cost" is if the dealers are marking down the jbikes to sub 9k.  675s are the cheapest of the ss bunch, but often sold closer to retail than the j bikes, which are often marked down to almost nothing
