Regen, I really like that yellow one in your sig.
I was just on Honda's site yesterday though, and by god, what is with that silver stripe?!? I mean, red and orange as the only two colors of '11 REALLY?!
I know there's plenty of aftermarket support, even tank covers, but holy cow, just like with the 600's, I'd rather step back, and get an older one for the colors I want.

it really wasn't THAT involved to do, but it makes a big visual difference (i think).
and like most things, it also looks better in person.
this was one of my initial POC mockups:
and for the record i am very not digging the silver frame on the 2011.

Thats a stock color for the 08 models. He just added decals (or paint) to the mid fairing and tank.

I was at the dealership the other day and i agree - I just can't say that I really like t he looks. The main problem for me I think is the rounded/saggy looking headlights. Also - generically I feel there isn't quite enough fairing there - I'm not sure I can really pinpoint where or why I am saying that, there is just something that doesn't appeal to me.
