Agree, and nothing wrong with twin reds, Pdedse
Yeah, if Ginger had a twin...but two red bikes? At the same time?? I'm still thinking that blue tank for my '17ex at some point.
That red w800 is like honda doing a deep green cb1100 as it's initial color of choice.

I wager Takashi could fix you up with the green tank and side covers they are getting in Japan.
Thar she blows! And dark rims / spokes and that would be about my dream color scheme.

That Kawasaki dark green is just lovely in the flesh.

This is how I judged from the pics:
silver = no emotion at all
red = very nice and exited about it
green = nice, but its green colour was not properly exposed due to light and angle when the pic (dark) was taken.
Summary: green and red would be my choice, but have to see it in real prior deciding.

The W800/1's green is sort of british racing green but has goldflakes in it sparkling in the sun. And of course the tank is beige at the sides too. All very lovely and nice to look at as the whole bike. It's also very delightful to go out on a ride with W800. I now do so again.

Was nearly laying on the floor for the pic asking myself, what I'm doing here? Riding in or into the crisis, both? But keeping distance to each and everyone. As a biker one of the easiest things to do.

Beautiful colour...and your spirit reflecting, Wisedrum
In about 1976, I had a 250cc with almost identical custom paint colour. Good, old times
