I'm curious what opinions are on the new matte color of the 2015 model. Honda is calling it some version of grey, but to me it looks like something identical to what you see on military vehicles.Attachment 10946

I've heard quite a few like the new colors including the silver. To each their own. Red still is the fastest!

I'm fine with the black/grey color.
I would be concerned with keeping it clean. How easy will it be to eliminate the random but inevitable greasy hand or fingerprint? Glossy paint is fairly easy to maintain, but a matte finish? I dunno.
Someone w experience care to chirp up?

Personally I did not care for any of the 2013/14 choices...I had mine painted at the dealer before delivery a Brandywine Kandy Red Clearcoat...The new 2015 grey is okay from the pictures I have seen but I have not seen one in person...Love the color on my 2013 F6B and am even happier that I got my wife to buy into a new bike if she chose the color!!!
It's designed to be impervious to radar.
Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

Opas, I experienced the same thing with my wife. Showed her a red F6 at our local dealer, she did not like it. Few days later, visited a Victory dealer a few towns over and they had a black F6 and I asked her what she thought....lo-and-behold she liked it! She wasn't aware it was the same bike she saw a few days earlier. :-) Went back to local dealer and had them locate a black one for me.
My problem with grey,silver and colors that look like the road is the vehicle disappears into the roadway....ever not see a vehicle until the last second because it blended into the road????
Not a good color for any motor vehicle !!!!!

I do like the Matte grey/silver on the "15" but the blue has really grown on me if I were in the market.
2013 F6B in black of course
