Thank you all for the very valuable insights.
I slept on it, and looking yhe pictures i took afresh, i am even more convinced that the grey is the one for me.
The red one got me excited because i could find it at last, but i was looking for one when i did not know the grey one existed. I even started eyeing the new kawi z900rs.
But once i stumbled on the grey one, i felt i had found the one. The picture does not do it justice.. the paint was baked to give it a lacquered feel; but the search is over anyway at least for now. I will complete the purchase and post pics ina couple of weeks once i take possesion of it.
I attached further pics of both, because they are both good looking in their own rights. Thanks all!
