Not to imply I'm not into sultr. . . err, scratch that. . .
don't like the sultry temptress 'look' but I want a motorcycle
that has visibility! My Trophy was BRG, a color which seems to
absorb light---it was nearly invisible under many lighting
conditions---definately a stealth color, beautiful to look at,
difficult to see. Black has the same problem.
That leaves red, a visible color in good lighting conditions but
one which becomes stealthy at night. Blue has similar problems.
The recently introduced silver is a big improvement but it fades
away on overcast days.
I didn't buy my ST to look at, I bought it to ride. A bike gets
dirty when ridden in the US Pacific Northwest. Sure I like it
clean and I do wash it once in a while but clean or dirty, red,
black, blue, green, silver, pink or purple, it's still a joy to
ride. And that is what counts! Anyone fancy a nuclear red (aka
d-p pink) ST? ;o)

It's gonna rain but I'm still headed out on the bike!
Do you suppose we'd have fewer wars if the
leaders and politicians still led the troops?
