It's funny - I really wanted the all black 650 but my dealer had just sold his last one - I thought the contrasting red frame in front of the lack engine made the red bike look 'cheap'.
Bought the red one and now I never notice and the bike looks fantastic to me...
Come out of work and see her and my heart always jumps a bit...maybe I should go see the doc and have a checkup?
BTW, I looked for a new bike for about a year...sat on a hundred bikes at a toronto bike show and just reread an old posting about that from another site - at that time, i narrowed my choice down to four bikes (all suzukis!) and the bandit was the clear favourite. I just had to wait for the dealer to drop $2000 off list and i was ready to go.
