Madd! We are all excited for you and look forward to your photos and comments. Be careful riding home and enjoy the ride. Sorry to hear you are a little bummed by the black being to plain. I have not seen the red/silver but saw a blk cbr today. I thought it looked fantastic. You can make it look really sweet, I think, with some red accents such as the windscreen cowling and those two flare pieces at the flanks. Honda and the aftermkt will also have some nice aluminum anodized parts to add. Your paint guy will have some ideas........
