Title: What colour is yours?
Post by: Dai Version on December 30, 2014, 10:39:57 AM
So, as the title says ... What colour is yours?

Mines a 2013 gtr, (uk '63 plate) but I don't know the official colour ... Any experts out there that can provide a definitive answer? Cheers.

Oh and I expect each variant to have the honour of being the fastest colour ! D

You have the honour of having either Metallic Nocture Blue or Midnight Sapphire Blue. USA was the Nocture in 2013 but Sapphire was 2009/10.
Either way, it's the slowest colour.  :yes: :hammer: :popcorn:

Whatever the official name of the colour is, it is very very nice. Mine is green-the most comfortable colour. :mfr_lol:

I've got a 2009 - looks black until the sun shines on it (so living in Wales, it's black) but when the sun shines on it it shows the metallic blue fleck.

The official colour is Sapphire Blue.

I think the 'blue' of the later models actually looked blue and not black so would have a different official colour name.

The bike on your photo is the one that looks blue.

Longtom has played it safe and bought a Green one!

The black ones are usually the fastest  due to black being aerodynamically more slippery.  But wat ever colour it is it is a great bike.

08 C14.  Neutron Silver, the only color available at the time.  Still my favorite.  I do like the redish/maroon color that was used in the US, I believe, in 2012.  I do agree, Kawi does use some nice colors on the 14/1400's.

Thanks.  Sometimes I can get images to post and sometimes not.  Possibly some site images won't link, or maybe just old and dumb.... :mfr_lol:

the easiest way to post a link of an item that is already on the net is to view the image in its full size( not its thumbnail) , right click and go to " properties" copy the address of the item starts with a http and ends with jpeg.

when posting your reply select the icon near the smileys that is a tiny picture its called" insert image"

select that and paste the http address in between the open brackets

Thanks.  It was the thumbnail link that I was probably using.  The rest I was doing correctly.

That looks quite striking, very nice, goes well with the tinted screen too...
