Ooo Speedmaster in black and white! That's the halo paint scheme used to promote the bike, nice. Ride-by-wire with ride modes and cruise control, too. I love that bike...fits me like a glove.
If you guys decide to pull the trigger, as a negotiating angle (and if she's interested), you might ask the dealer to convert the bike to mid-controls. Apparently it's not hard to do because it's the same Bonneville platform. It will noticeably increase the available banking angle although it will also decrease knee angle. But all that extraneous hardware down low in front of the frame goes away. As a side benefit, it would make the pipes look cooler too.
Some pics I took at the IMS show in Cleveland this past winter.
