Just my little Olympus point-and-shoot. Turns out the natural light coming into my garage has some spectacular qualities (that I hadn't noticed before taking pictures there).

, again, that is a swanky seat man! why'd you nix the cafe seat? or did you get both for a change up every now and then?
Yep, keeping the seat cowl. It's nice to be able to swap it and completely change the whole look of the bike.
EDIT: The color I got is Brown C-34 (perhaps not leather?). SP-02 looks like it might be the leather upgrade on this chart (not the right brown for my tastes): http://www.kandh.co.jp/semiorder/japanbike/index.html

Well I will see what it looks like when it comes in! the website makes it very hard to tell what the leather looks like. your seat is awesome! how tall are you? is the low seat comfortable?!
i almost went with c-34... obviously pictures to come. 
5'11". Need to do longer rides to see how it feels on my knees and hips (just about to hit 600 miles), but for the 30-45 min trips I do everything feels super comfortable.

that's awesome! your pictures look great!! I am 5'9" and am hping that this low seat is the answer! I want to feel more like i'm sitting in the bike rather than on it.
its gonna be hard to wait a month!!!!!
