Realize this post falls nicely into the 'this post is useless without photos' box, but thought I'd share that a local dealer told me the other day that the 2016 models will be white. Here in my neck of the woods (Alberta) they expect to have them on the floor by November. Should look sharp with the blacked-out exhaust. Maybe not quite as sharp as the matte silver this year though. Still riding my VTX but hoping to pull the trigger this winter on a deal.
