No, I think it was someone else looking at the Red. I toyed with the idea of getting the 2 tone black and gold, but the price was going to be $2K (!!!!)more than the silver I had gotten the quote on.
I can't complain. I negotiated and paid a deposit on a Silver, with security and without ABS. When the bike was delivered I noticed almost immediately that it had ABS. Being trustworthy, loyal, etc. I pointed this out to the dealer. I was told that they had tried to transfer in a silver with security and without ABS and couldn't find one. Would I accept the ABS (for no extra charge)? I would. The bike also inexplicably had the $179 quick detach mounts installed. When I asked about these I was told not to worry about it, if I didn't want them they could take them off. I didn't want them to go through all that trouble, so I told them to just leave them on.

The process started a month ago on a black, no ABS. I was trading my '09 RKC. They worked up a price, and then I saw the silver one. They said I could have that for the same deal. The Gold and Black was my wife's suggestion, and I dropped it as soon as I heard the price. The final deal worked out to my bike and about $10.2K OTD. I'm sure they made money, and I'm happy with the deal.

So far, so good. Just about 200 miles as of now. It seems to handle better than my '09 did. That could just be the difference between brand new tires and tires with some miles on them. I haven't really opened up the throttle, but the engine feels more powerful down low than either a 96"or a 103." I am really liking the feel of the brakes, love the one touch saddlebags, and I am getting used to the missing clunk into first gear. The horn is noticeably louder About the only thing I'm not loving is the new control buttons. It will just take some time I think.
