Premium Member ULEWZ Posted January 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2015 The European FJ-09, ala MT-09 tracer, gets the red and matt grey colors, but also gets what they are calling racing blue. Basically a silver and black bike with blue rims and forks. Here is a picture from an english site: And another review with more pictures of the racing blue. link A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Rahza Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just a note on the colors: I thought it looked like it was white (the tank and some plastics) but it's closer to silver in real life. So in my eyes the pictures do lie a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahza Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think the blue forks look good, then again I am usually a sucker for things that's not ordinary/standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamwayne Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My dealer has both the blue and grey in the showroom. The blue fork has a rich and vibrant coating, the blue wheels are painted and some what duller. Because of the two blue tone up front, it kind of catches one's attention in a negative way. I went for the grey instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for the grey instead. Visited the shop again just now and you're right. The two tones of blue just does not work. They had all three colors in stock now and I'll go for the gray one, no doubt.

lamwayne Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Rahza: Looking closer at you picture, I could be wrong about the rim being painted and it looks like electroplated. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crotchrocket Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think they went a bit far with the blue forks! These will all be the demo bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Guru Posted February 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have to agree, the blue forks are... well... very blue. I'm not a fan of golden forks either to be honest. Denaut Mansion Country Inn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ULEWZ Posted February 3, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have to agree, the blue forks are... well... very blue. I'm not a fan of golden forks either to be honest.I love the gold forks. Makes me feel like I spent some serious coinage on an Ohlins fork package. I think it compliments the red color for some reason. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
