Here in the UK we also had the blue option. That was the only choice, blue or orange. I wanted the blue one - but so did everyone else and there was a long waiting list. The dealer offered me a slightly better deal to go orange. I wasn’t keen but the thing that swung it was they had one in (that no one else wanted) and I could more or less ride away on. The impatience of youthfulness sealed it. Even that hideous dark brown seat didn’t deter my need for instant gratification! It wasn’t long before i regarded the colour choice as a plus. All the other 550’s I encountered on the streets were blue and I rather liked being different.
