If I remember correctly the red was a Ford metallic red and the black was supposed to be just metallic black. But since the guy painted it for me for free, he decided to try something and mixed some silver in and did something else because, in the sun, the metallic black looked to have a smoky silver undertone to it turning the color into a very deep gunmetal gray type color. It was very, very pretty.
I honestly regret selling it. That was the last bike I owned until I just bought a 2007 Triumph Tiger 1050 a couple months ago. That’s a long break from riding and it feels good to be back in the saddle again (cue the music).
