I don't even care much for blue on a motorcycle, but I chose that metallic blue color because it was the most garish poke-in-eye color they had :-)
What I really would have wanted in its stead would have been that 70's CB750 'Sunrise Orange Metallic' color (or whatever it was called).. now THAT would be a real poke in the eye with the frame, tank, swing arm all painted to match.
As soon as I saw the Fury announcement, I ran down to my local dealer to put a deposit on one. I had expected that they would be snapped up like the first Yamaha Specials (I had a '78 XS650 Special that I bought new and now wish I'd never let go of).. that didn't happen, obviously...
Yeah, the price has really dropped since 2009, as far as I see no one's really riding around on them so no surprise there...
I like it though and it's a keeper for me.. testament to too much teenager time wasted reading chopper magazines at the drugstore I guess :-)
