My new girl!!!

I have that drop-down shade stuff on my Scorpion EXO-1000 and *LOVE* it. One of the best things invented for helmets!  Hopefully yours is dark... the Scorpion comes with a stupid "light" tint.  Have to immediately discard it and replace it with a $25 "dark" tint for it to be useful.

+1 love it on the schuberth!

Exactly!

Nothing looks quite as nice as a clean, black sports car (or even bike), but it will almost never be clean.  Thus, it can be a nightmare color.   Black also tends to show defects more than any other color, and gets really freaking hot.  My second out of 4 cars was black and that was enough for the rest of my life

Black cars, and bikes, look better in the shade.

I have ridden all my life...but it feels kinda good to think of her as a starter bike. Trust me, I'm not scared of her by any means but florida law mandates I take the course. I have been AROUND BIKES ALL MY LIFE !! one thing i have learned is never assume you can judge someones skill by using you own as a reference! The power and size of the bike don't concern me...at all!

It's a good size bike and has plenty of usable power, but nothing like my two previous bikes ('Busa and ZX-10R).  Those were difficult to ride, especially the 10R.

I feel  like I can flog my C-14 without any major concerns.

coming off dirt bikes you have to remember the front brake is everything now.

ZG's ride is the reason I went with a 2012 instead of 2011!!

I must have missed this post first time around... Thanks bro! 

[KawiG]

Here's to you man!!! I have some strong reasons not to pick a black bike...but I couldn't Ignore you ride!! I think my Dad would be proud! The last street bike I owned was a Black 1965 Harley Davidson Fl...I inherited it, your bike gave me a new view of black, I had a hard time riding the last one. Drooling over your ride has cleared my vision. Thanks Z!!! I think you will like the next few pics I post! I did go all black with the seat though...

[ZG]

  

Nice! Happy to help in your vision bro, your Dad would be is proud I'm sure, I think it's an awesome tribute to him! 
 
I didn't see it listed in this thread, so what exhaust did you go with?

[KawiG]

Two Bros Vale BLACK...it will be dual in the future.. Haven't seen that yet, but shouldn't be too difficult.

You're pics made the load a bit lighter.

I repeat those words often in my head for work, it's my way of saying don't stress out, it will all work out in the end, too much stress will make one snap! If you keep it all in check and balanced all is well and you'll be a happier person...

Great choice!!! I love the color!! God I wsih the 2011s in black came with black rims.

KawiG---

I was at the dealership today having my brake/clutch fluids changed and saw your bike!!

It looks so nice--- but lonely sitting there on the dealership floor....

They did have a Copper 2012 V-Strom in stock but unfortunately not a Super Tenere.
They offered me $8000 for my Connie as a trade but said I could strip off all my accessories to sell separately.

I'm not sure which direction I am going to go-- I may post a for sale ad to gauge interest...

[KawiG]

Cool! I can't wait to pick it up friday...May not be able to wait till then Did the pipe look good on it? Havn't seen it since the pipe was installed.

[ronski]

looked great!!
