I asked how come he has 2 sitting here and he explained that a customer put a deposit down without live viewing and after he saw one in the flesh at spirngwood suzuki(he gets them first) he cancelled the color and opted for either the Jaffa or nubular grey.If anyone gets the chance to view can they put up what they think in regards to the observations I made.
its true in the sunlight the beautiful white color sadly disappears,thats what i saw before i got my black/grey i was ready to buy the white one myself after i saw this i changed my mind immediately,sad it looks so nice in the magazines or in the show room lights,in real life its a Creamish yellow,i thought i was my imagination?
anyhow congrats to all the guys on buying a great bike,dispite the color wars some people are having,im just pointing out a few things i have noticed after seeing white busas here in Greece almost everyday,its the most common color,second is the black,third the blue and last the orange
