It's been 20 years since Honda first unleashed the CBR900RR on the unsuspecting world, and to mark the occasion, the manufacturer has unveiled the 2012 CBR1000RR Fireblade at the Endurance World Championship at Le Mans and the 2011 World Superbike Championship in Imola, Italy. The new bike packs a revised fairing, complete with a fresh nose and reworked tail section, but the really fun bits are still under the plastic. Honda has implemented an all-new rear shock design with dual-tubes that supposedly offer a smoother and faster response over the old hardware. Up front, the CBR1000RR works with 43-millimeter telescopic front forks. Engineers also reworked the engine's fuel-injection mapping for a smoother idle and easier operation lower in the rev band. A set of new gauges and two 12-spoke wheels wrap up the changes over the 2011 model.

Black is nice but shows the dust. On balance I'd go for the white just to show of the dead bugs.

Red is always the fastest! Just ask any policeman,red bikes give the illusion of going faster. I better paint mine blue this winter.

I voted for White.
I have both a white bike and a black one. Black is much harder to keep clean, although it looks good when it is clean. White is more visible to cages, especially on cloudy days.

Took a look at the Honda site. Hmmm the VFR1200F is an interesting bike to say the least. I still would want one with a six speed. No automatic for me. I have to say the CBR1000R is a nice naked bike. I really like the look. 2.99% financing with $400.00 cash back. Do I see a new CBR in your future?
