    Not a good color for any motor vehicle !!!!!
    I agree, Steve. This is the main reason why I decided on the blue.....and, because it's purdy.

    This is one of the BIGGEST reasons I didn't pull the trigger on a 2013 model and waited to see what Mother Honda would do with colors for 2014.
    I'm really glad I waited 'cause I got the Fast-as-all-git-out Pearl Yellow.

    Yes, and if you live in Detroit, it doesn't matter what color bike you ride.
    You need additional help for those who don't know what a motorcycle is!

    I saw one at the PMI show in Dallas last weekend. Not my cup of tea but I have to say it did not show any finger prints from all those attendees foundling it. Last year, the brand new black one on diplay looked like it had 100,000 hard miles on it and it was brand new with no miles. Smears and scratches were terrible on the black, not so on the gray. I don't particularly care for the primer colored mototcycles but this one was holding up well

    Looks great and I like the contrast. Same church different pew as long as you're on the best engineered bike, in my humble opinion, on the planet.

    Do you have any pics of that Brandywine Kandy on your bike? I'd like to go that route, myself.
