I have a 2014 EX (DLX) in black, which has a beautiful glitter effect in sunlight.
So, the colour scheme is black/silver (or deep chrome); classy, but a little monochromatic.
Clearly a designer at Honda felt that it would be against the laws of nature for a Honda to leave the factory without a touch of red (or possibly white and/or blue)
Looking closely at the tank badge, I notice that the centre of the badge's otherwise black background is in fact a very deep, dark red.
Look at the tiny replica of the badge on the key, and it's exactly the same.
Pointless, barely noticeable, and I'm sure costly, but sooo nice as evidence of the attention to detail that has gone onto this bike.
Interesting to hear what they've done with other colour (color) schemes.
