Wrong Color FJR?

[DragonflyTN]

So my wife says to me: "I'm tired of the BLUE. Can we get a RED bike?"

Me ( :lol: ): "What? Oh... Sure, as long as we can keep the BLUE bike too!"

2007 for sale anyone?

Yes, I think it is poor marketing that one is forced to a single color each year. I wonder how many more bikes they would sell if you could pick your color.

Same thing last year with the Honda NT700V: ABS only in silver, maroon without ABS. Geesh...

It's kind of like Henry Ford with the Model T's: "Any color you want as long as it's black."

2007 isn't red. You want a RED bike? On word:

Ducati

2007 isn't red.

Indeed, it's brown!

You want a RED bike? On word:




Honda

Fixed that for you.

Actually, the one word is "Paint" because that's the only way to get a quality bike like the FJR in red. And for what a paint job would cost, it'd be less than the hit you take getting rid of the old bike and buying a new one.

I'm sure my 2004 FJR would look good in Red. In fact, didn't someone post photos of one that was painted Red?

And didn't you paint it Garauld?? I'd love to send you my tupperware over the winder and have you paint it Red.

Tom

Yep, and as seen, it looks damn good. And that says a lot as I don't even like red!

 

[East coast Rob]

Heck I'm red with envy. That looks great.

Of course, back in 2002, Yamaha did make the FJR1300 in red.

I love that red with black wheels one. If my paint wasn't so pristine I'd pull the trigger on something like that.

Agreed!

Yup.

Maybe we can work something out...
I've since added the black wheels (which I powdercoated as well) ....

I'm still pondering doing the multi-color computer paintjob posted about a month ago. I have a number of rock chips that need to be covered up.

I'll have to see how my retirement budget works out this fall.

See, now red is all played out. Gotta go with something else.

Nice touch to the rims. BTW what kind of windshield is that? It looks like a Givi but has more of a curl at the top. My Givi windshield doesn't seem to have that much. Mind you mine is for a 2006.
