Oh, this is amazing.  Really fantastic.  Love it!  I hadn't even looked at decals; I got a killer deal on mine but I dislike the color scheme (it was cheaper to take the deal I got and paint vs. getting the alternative for me, which was the black/silver)

Been thinking of vinyl wrapping it; gotta see if I can find those decal kits for the 2019. 

I'd love to go to that yellow/black Yamaha scheme with that style of decals.

I have the grey one (which i bought used), but i would have loved to paint it matte black. never got the chance.

One of the new 900 GT's in matte black with the blue wheels would be primo!

Looking at my red 2015 FJ, sitting in the sun after a quick wash, I’m reminded just how much I like this color...   I still can’t fathom why a similarly traditional mono-color paint scheme isn’t available on the new GTs.

 I have to agree with your with @texscottyd👍 That red is awe-some on the FJ and would also be on the GT. I unfortunately got to see the 2020 Tracer GT in person at the New York bike show, I wanted to F,.king puke!!

I have matte grey.  Sorry to hear from some of you not being able to ride because of cold weather.  I live in So. Calif so I've been riding a lot.  Rode yesterday around the salton sea (about 200 miles).  Lots to hate about California but the weather isn't one of them.

OK be gentle.  I had a rush of blood (plus a six pack of beers) last week and got it into my (addled) mind that I should paint stuff!

Have I done the right thing?  It was only recently that I posted that I like the understated look and now this!  It started with the addition of the K-Tech rear shock that happened to come with a red spring.  Then I added the red stripe and suddenly I'm in love with RED.  As Jim Cary would say....'Somebody stop me!'

Feel free to heap A. praise and admiration or B. scorn and derision as you see fit.  I'm still not sure if I've done the right thing to be honest, me being the conservative type that I am, BUT it is Plasti Dip so I can peel it right off if enough derision/scorn is heaped!  And yes, if it's kept, I must be very careful with my fuel filling - a downside to Plasti Dip.

Let the heaping begin!
