I hope so cuz it looks goofy as hell stock. 
I was just at the dealership and saw every color. Black is definitely the way to go if you want to minimize that praying mantis look it has up front.

I was reading your guys post, and he was right, that bike pulls as the 2nd set injector kick in, like turbo. Before this i had 05 ZX10, 05 and 04 R1, 900rr, this bike is no joke and i can't wait for the Akrapovic full titanium, PCIII out for this bike. I kinda broke it in not properly, but i think it's fine? I broke it in as the R1, under 7k rev. and idle rev 1 tank of fuel before road miles, because i knew i can't keep low rev on the road.

bad idea Jimmy, you need a load on that engine to seat the rings. Alot of guys here (me included) believe in riding the bike at break in like you will after break in. No extended high rpms or sustained full throttle runs, but use the rev band, vary the compression loads on those piston rings so they take a good bite into the cylinder walls and seat really well to them.
What you just did was increased your blowby on your rings, and decreased your cylinder pressure. A portion of your exhaust gasses are now going into your crankcase and into your oil, DECREASING your engine life span! Eventually the rings will properly seat and reseal themselves, but doubtfull if they will fully seat, and over what time span.
I assume you where just kidding about not being able to control how you ride But in the future, you might just want to buy a used bike and let someone else break it in! lol It really couldnt get much worse than idling a tank full of gas through it.....

1st tank i idle and rev under 5-6, just some revs up and let go the throtle quick, but mostly idle. 2nd tank i took it out, but i was thinking it's like breaking in the R1 i had which said under 7K rev, they also setted their shiftlite at 7. So i treated the 08 10 that way, on the 2nd tank. #rd tank i opened it up to 11, shift was setted at 11. And hasn't yet gone past 11 much. Yesterday i was ajusting the shiftlite and cluster dimmer, so i readthemanual, LOL it said keep under 4k for 500miles, then under 6 for another 500. LOL aint no way in heil some biker can do that. Not riding a 1000. I'm worried and regret, but then i think i'm OK right?

Out of 20 yrs riding Jap bikes, i only read the manual twice, first was an 04R1, then yesterday 08 10R. LOL, i don't think i can go through breaking in again ever. I will put it on a DYNO lol.

It'sbeen cold here in DC, so i letted it idle and rev low for few evenings LOL, but not ran out of fuel, til lite came on. I was thinking atleast i kinda broken in on the engine side, trans breakin in aren't nessesary i think, but still i took it easy on 2nd tank, kept it under 7-8. I have almost 400 miles on it now, and i'm waitin for warm days to bring it up to redline. LOL or just 12- 12.5
all my coriders got 1k bikes, luckily i have not been riding with them, these are solo miles.
Funny thing was i met an 08 Gixxer 1k, he had 250m on it and was telling me he's taking easy, there were 15 bikes which i just met em, i told the dude, hey, your better than me, i have 150m at the time. Every1 else was flying, i could help my self so i did too, but low rev, shift early, and flew pass that Gixxer, the nexthing i knew was, he gotta opened it all up and passed me.
