| Hi guys, After getting your advice on the forum a little while ago, I have now bought a 2009 Wing in black today from the 'Value Bike Centre' in Norfolk, I just rode the 160 miles home and I am very pleased so far! The bike has only done 1260 miles, so it is like new. I am new to the 'twist n' go' concept so I am fighting the bikers urge to pull the 'clutch' in when slowing down to stop (thuis caused a couple of comedy moments this morning during the test ride), I am sure I will cure myself of this in due course! @Trider  - Attachments

Hey, that's not fair. In Canada the '09's only came in red.
My '09 would look a lot sharper in black. |

| Oh guys... just goes to show different things appeal to different people. My 03 Candy Apple Red was the "apple" of my eye. I miss the red. The black 05 I have now is REALLLLLY pretty when it is clean. But it show dust too quick. I saw a late model car today that was a deep burgundy. I closed my eyes and imagined it as a trike... maybe my next one. The main attraction of a Silverwing is its reliability not its color. |

| They do look good in black, better than silver IMHO, but will need a lot of cleaning to look at it's best. JeffR I haven't thought about mods yet, but some handguards would be an obvious choice. I didn't find the screen too bad on the ride home yesterday, compared to my Africa Twin screen, the buffeting is quite mild! |

| Welcome & congrats on your new scoot! You will get used to it pretty quickly especially if you keep grabing a handful of brake during slowdown! Sometimes I still even go for the brake pedal  Good luck and ride safe! |

| Mine looked great in black when I bought it, now I'd have to call the color "dead bug splatter which you can see some black through."
I think the only color that shows the bugs worse than black must be white. |
