not seen the red in the flesh , the magnesium looks stunning in the brochures but when i saw it in the flesh i didnt like it as much as i thought i would, i went with the candy neptune blue.

im just waiting for the day when they do the gtr in candy lime reen :cool:

The new 2012 Red was in the showroom at batley when I visited, it looked dull to me, but Brian assured me that it "comes to life" like the Blue/Black when its in the sunshine

BTW there's only one colour for a kawasaki, and that's
GREEN  [/b]

I do love it , i wouldnt have all the transfers and maybe have a bit more black in it. I know its not every ones taste but that kawa lime green is classic. Maybe a more modern version would be a colour scheme close to the new green/ebony zzr1400.
