It’s both. The color is “Stone Cold Blue” which looks blue in some light and purple in other. I’d say it’s more often purple then blue though.

Here it is in blue:

The FXR is lighter and stiffer, even with the 39mm forks it’s definitively nimbler and easier to throw around. At high speeds, the dyna feels a bit more planted, but I expect that’s due to the better suspension - top of the line Öhlins shocks and NIX 22 fork cartridges, vs. Racetech springs and emulators and entry level Öhlins shocks on the FXR. I’m sure I’m going to end up with the Öhlins 764’s on the back of the FXR one of these days though, they’re just too good.

Its a a tough call. I LOVE the LRS, it’s a more “refined” ride, and that 110 makes tons more power then the 80, but I also love the simplicity of the FXR. They’re both great bikes. I’d have a hard time choosing between the two of them. But hands down the FXR is soooo much better looking IMO.

what you and the rest of the members following your page have just witnessed is what might very well be my very first ever senior moment. Has to be a senior moment cause I haven’t been high since I found out I was sick. I was certain I saw a post here of what I thought were custom wheels waiting for instal.
But I have it all worked out now. Was s seperate thread. And I am still a senior regardless.

Lol, you’re not alone my friend. Sometimes it’s scary how my brain mixes things up at times...
