Well I suppose the new colours will be worldwide, just not announced here yet.

I like the dark silver one, I wish they'd have painted the tail unit also. I used to have a red FZ1 yam with a black tail unit, drove me mad, marked easy and looked odd to me, I replaced it with a red one from the year before model which was all red.

The one with the yellow accents has a nice little coloured section under the luggage rack which ties the front and the back together really nicely, odd they didn't do the same for the other colours.

I prefer bright colours myself - the current UK green and that rather nice Canadian silver/grey can blend into the background a bit and make you a slightly less visible to already blind or distracted drivers. I'll stick to my blue-one but I do rather like their red one.

They're still ugly...  :stirpot:

(red is always the best colour though, aside from the L2 which was white)

I prefer the red, pity cruise control isn't available yet, should at least be an option.

@vstroman technically cruise control is available as an 'option' with the Veridian kit, the local Suzuki dealer was so impressed with it when I told them about it they're considering approaching Veridian to act as their UK distributor.

It's why I test rode an 800RE a few days ago knowing that that cruise control kit is now available.

That new grey looks good.
