Awesome. I've been waiting to see some more reviews. Looks like they're all coming out now. I can't wait to pick up one of those 600s.

Yeah, I went to the dealership today hoping they would have a black/red one to gawk at. Unfortunatley they only had the blue one, but oh well, still very nice to look at.

The red/black is what I'm wanting. It was the only one they didn't have at my dealership last weekend. The black doesn't look that good in person. Blue/white is pretty normal. The white/silver is pretty amazing. The official site doesn't do that paint scheme justice. Still, I'm getting that red/black one.

I had a gsxr600 and it was a dream machine.  I recommend one to anybody who has a couple few years of riding experience.  Not a good beginner as it has enough power to get you into trouble.
