I wanted Kawasaki Green and cruise control, but decided to buy a black one instead of waiting an unforeseen amount of time for something that might happen one day.
In '07 I bought the Candy Plasma Blue Ninja 650, and the next year they put out the Lime Green. Oh well.
I bought the '11 Versys in Cardinal Metallic Red, and in '14 they came out with Candy Lime Green and ABS. Oh well.
I bought the '12 Concours in Black and who knows if they will ever come out with green and cruise control.
I have enjoyed all my bikes regardless of color. Too me color is only important for bikes you admire but don't ride. When your riding it doesn't matter what color it is.
So, I will find friends with Lime Green Ninjas, Candy Lime Green Versys and admire their bikes while I ride. Just like I admire the photos of Jay's Green Concours.
