That pretty blue on the EX's that never release in the US would be my first choice. That color with the sparkle like the red has is just mesmerizing. I also really like Alprider's yellow, which is odd because generally I don't care for yellow.

I know, I know...Honda penalized the US for no reason Undecided
Here in Canada we had:
2013/white, 2014/blue. 2016/black-checkered flag and final, 2017/red.
So, needless to say we all in NA got screwed up.

... but weirdly, alprider makes us almost all appreciate the yellow.

It's the dreary, pedestrian backdrops to his pictures I suspect. They lack the grandeur and colorful splendor normally associated with places such as downtown Detroit. Don't even get me started on his photographic compositional skills. Sheesh.

... probably Whoops. You raise some good points about alprider's photographic skills and his environment.

Detroit? Heck no, go all the way, Dearborn.

ROFL

There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.

I re-wrapped it four times, and it was still too frickin' loud and I sold it.

Seems to a lot of Forum folks who really liked their mid-90s Honda Nighthawks.

You got that right, GO, and for good reason. Great looking, simple, fun to ride, started and put a grin on my face every time.
