Okay, since okiegr can say it I'm going to give my true thought. Na, don't like the new Red, fact it's hard to call it red, yea it's in the red family thats like saying purple is blue, some think it is. I look at it's more of a color you'd see on a high end Merced or ? haha think that's why Honda went that way? Does give it a classy more rich look, but for me, Na, some one else can have it. I have a friend that has this color on his XX, pretty much a boring color, hides the lines of the bike to much. There I said it. I feel better now. thanks
