No. The standard one came in purple for the previous model but the new R only comes in three colours with a red subframe and side pods.

Not a huge fan of Honda gearboxes TBH. Had 2 Honda's and both clunky 'boxes (VFR400 and Hornet)

Go white, but for pillion comfort the older model is better. Or has that been put down on the list of priorities?

It is still possible to get it in the old purple colour. Just say, I want it in purple. You'll get a purple one.

So tomorrow I'm borrowing a Street R from one of my dealers to make sure that I like it. After that I need to broker the deal with the wife. Wish me luck!!

'Make sure I like it ' what a silly statement

The street is a horrible 3cyl thing. What sort of bike is that

Get the white one as the black or grey will soak up the spanish sun, fade a bit over time and be really hot if left outside too long. Plus the black will be a nightmare to clean as its dusty and the lacquer will definitely take a beating just check out any car from Spain they all have blistered paint and look like they have been sand blasted

Because they have.


But yeah, matte black would be good but failing that, anything but red.

I know someone with one in dark matt green. Every time you see it A-Team theme jumps straight into your head.
