I know, what's with that? We're kinda stuck with what they present us! Oh well, all of the color styles are great. I am partial to the tri and Repsol. Neither of the were available in my geo locale in 2011 so, I went with the black. May not be as fast as your red and silver but, it is stealthy

I think I remember hearing somewhere once that plasti-dip went best with the red ones.

With safe regards from the mostly frozen north.

The Tri Colors are easier to pull wheelies on!

The big manufacturers seem to stick with their team colors when it's anything other than black or white. Honda = red, Suzuki = Yellow, Kawasaki = Green, Yamaha = Blue/white, KTM = Orange (can you guess I was watching supercross last night?)

Yeah! Go Post Office! the '12 is the one that looks like the mail box, not the truck!

Oh, wait . . aren't the mail trucks in England red?

They most certainly are. That's why I prefer my Union Jack Tri Colour.

It will be cloudy or raining probably.The weather here has been like this for whole 2 months, either cloudy or raining everyday, that's how Borneo is every end of year
