I agree with dynawidegliderider the MoCo website does seem to lack in the paint dept. OK I admit probably tough to capture the LIGHT effect paint colours , but hey they could post some different pics and maybe even post pics of all the colours for each model instead of 5 out of 7 pics being one specific colour (combo).

LOL! LOL! That's funny.

It's also interesting how some people see it as brown in the shade but mine seems to be more of a dark cherry. I like the way it looks sun or shade.
