If it were my choice, I would buy the grey. I think it's beautiful and I think it fits the character of the bike perfectly. Very classy, as others have said. Good luck with your decision!

If you like a bigger tank and smother suspension so take a 16 modell

Hi Rafteur. Yeah you really have to do what is most passionate for you. You will know, for sure. I like the red because the grey gets lost in its darkness, for me. Red one has silver engine. Twin exhausts. Big tank. That's the one I would pick. But if the grey speaks to you, then that's it.

Thank you all for the very valuable insights.
I slept on it, and looking yhe pictures i took afresh, i am even more convinced that the grey is the one for me.
The red one got me excited because i could find it at last, but i was looking for one when i did not know the grey one existed. I even started eyeing the new kawi z900rs.
But once i stumbled on the grey one, i felt i had found the one. The picture does not do it justice.. the paint was baked to give it a lacquered feel; but the search is over anyway at least for now. I will complete the purchase and post pics ina couple of weeks once i take possesion of it.
I attached further pics of both, because they are both good looking in their own rights. Thanks all!
Final pics of the red one

The Wyvern 4 into 4 pipes are at least $2000 alone....I like the red retro look...

Yes the red one is nice; there was a cb750 four in display in the showroom in blue...
Somehow compared to thr cb750, the cb1100 in those colors looked too ... disproportionate to my eyes.
Anyway, funny that now that i made my choice, i feel no regret at all..

welcome to the forum , i bought a CB350 new in yokosuka for $320 in the create back in the day , loved the people and the Bullet Train
That Red one would be my pick .
my BMW R1200R was Granite Gray = I called it Graveyard Gray because most of our roads are gray and it just didn't stand out
