Nice, I really like that decal on the non-adjustable part of the fairing.
Also, the new 08's are missing gold wheels

Black FJR not so beautiful.
I made it up to the Seattle MTC show this weekend. I saw the new FJRs. I didn't care for the all black 1300A. It didn't help that it was all greasy from people touching it and that the bags were really scuffed up from people carelessly getting on and off. I don't like the black side panels. Not enough contrast. Sorry all you black 08 lovers but I think it looks terrible.
Now on the other hand the dark gray 1300AE is absolutely beautiful. WOW! That gray is really nice, and because it still has the silver side panels the contrast is excellent. Looks rich. Very nice. If this color combo was offered on the 1300A I would have to seriously consider an 08. But now I'm definitely going to stick with my original plan and get a black/cherry 07.

I was just at the show last weekend and can confirm that the instrument panel bezel is black. It's not that reflective chrome like my 07.
