Not yet. I ride with a few other guys with Vivid Black Ultra and a Black EG Classic. It can be confusing.

I don't get on the wrong one. I've got the only one I've ever seen like this one.

I've had that dilema. I always try to remember where the hell it's parked and I have tried to put a few distinguishing parts on it so I can identify it. Bell placement, windsheild bag, mirrors etc. It can get confusing at dark though. I've been lucky.

It may be black but it dont look like any of the other ones. I have never seen any other bike with the same seat that I have. I can pick my scooter out of any line...

For a while the only color you could have in a standard was black and it is the cheapest color as well.That isa coupleof the reasons for so many. Pretty hard to beat black and chrome or all black though, well, except black cherry
