Will always hear me say Black looks great although figured color is individual choice .. Seen many nice color schemes in all colors...

Why in hell would you buy a bike in a color you dont like and then spend large to go with another factory color that you could have gotten in the first place???

I think it looks great. I never really cared for the duracell, although it has grown on me over time. I think I would have come up with some kind of two tone or painted in a pin stripe or something if I was gonna go to the trouble though.

I just wander why you didn't just paint it? I like the black peral it looks better than the anny colors. I would think paint would have been cheaper than new tins.

I can't remember.....did the anniversary model/scheme have anything special besides the colors? and if so, did you leave them/it on?

I like it better, but I am WAY biased.

Huge improvement....Awsome, of course I'm partial to solid colors.
Especially, Vivid Black and Black Pearl. Just my opinion and everyone's got one. Ride safe and enjoy the new look.
