I'm totally into 3rding this...

But you didn't buy one.

That's cause he already has a silverish bike..

The new color is strangely reminiscent of my 2002 C10.  I wonder if they had tins left and wanted to use it up.  Those Kwacker people are very frugal.

I don't understand all the dissin'!!  I think it is a nice color!  Not everybody wants a loud or in-your-face color!  Some of us are happy with something more subdued but also sublime.

Sublime?

My car is that color... so I kinda have to like it (but not enough to change the color of my bike to it). Need to see it in person.

I like it. I always liked cars that color cause they DON'T stand out in a line. On a bike, I want to be seen.  Looks like they'd have called it Quicksilver.

I like it.  For ME, and just for ME, the green was too green though I usually like it on smaller bikes.  So watch, when it's time to give up this bike, the best deal I find out there will be green ----  and I'll love it for sure!

The whole shiny black / flat black ethos really came home to me with the yellow versys.  Real life made it even more real than pics.  Love the depth when done right.

Really don't care about colors.  But where in the heck is cruise control?  The FJR has left us in their dust.  Has there truly been any significant modifications since 2010?  Not really.

And there won't be, not until they redesign the bike significantly.  At that point, it will probably gain cruise (and my bet is that it will be throttle-by-wire).
