Both colors for '00 are beautiful. The red is a great shade if you're not wanting to lean toward a "boy-racer" shade of red. My seat-of-the-pants survey finds that the blue/silver gets the most favorable comments. As I was about to pull off the dealer's lot, a guy with a seriously disappointed look asked if I would be willing to sell mine on the spot, even with a red one still available. Someone late in the deposit game may be well advised to take either color. The bike is too nice to let it pass you by; (Let's see if I change my tune if I start having cut-out problems like on some of the '99s, or dealer problems). My dealer's first batch was two reds, two blues. Deposits were first on both blues, the a red. From the enthusiasm I've seen on .org, I was surprised that there wasn't a deposit on the last red one. (Some don't like the insurance rates on bikes over 1000 ccs here; some of my buddies are waiting to hear more about either the 929, 12R, or the X-Wing).
