I don't think I'd go quite that far, I've been wrong enough times (it's a shocker I know!) that I'd at least like to verify instead of writing him off. But I also think the chance of him being right is very slim.

I'm still hoping beyond hope for white...:angel:

Anybody who doesn't like their bulbous tank can trade for my non bulbous.

I much prefer the looks '13 over the '14 but still a great looking bike in either form. Spoked wheels, unless the tubeless type, are a deal breaker for me. I've sat on too many roadsides in years past pulling and patching tubes to ever want to go there again. Spokes do look nice, especially after spending a couple hours cleaning them. I'm just happy that Honda has seen fit to continue this model in the US market.

I've been gone for a while and I hope some of you might be able to answer some questions about the new black standard model. Concerning the tank, side panels, engine and wheels, does anyone know where and if flat black, semi-flat or gloss black is going to be used? I'm hoping the tank at least will be gloss. It makes a difference because a black sidecar is going to be married to it.

Ferret's post #47 on page 5 has a picture of the black model.

I wonder if the 14 with the bigger tank will have a better gas gauge than the 13 since we don't know what each bar represents...

From the picture, the tank and panels look gloss to me (am I seeing it right?) but it's kind of hard to tell on the wheels and engine. Do they look the same to you?thumper_imp said:

Everything looks gloss to me. My dealer showed me the same picture (I put it on page 3--straight from a Honda website). I've never heard anyone mention the color as being "matte."

Cool! That's what I was hoping was the consensus. I'm glad I waited. I'll be getting one. I am considering getting the wheels powder coated but I'll wait and see. I may love it all black.

According to this source it will come with a fuel computer that calculates fuel consumption and range. If that is not cool I don't know what isdBuster_imp said:

Buffalohead..the color is called Graphite Black ... Not sure if that is gloss or not. Having a hard time finding a real good well lit photo of it. From the pictures I have been able to find it doesn't look real glossy.

Thanks Ferret, that's kinda what I figured. It's hard to tell from the photos. It could be close enough for my sidecar to look good attached to it.The ferret_imp said:

I was quoted about £375 (620 dollars)) for that rear rack, now that in my book was a crazy price, the chrome Givi rack looks brilliant and was £177.

Wow! That's even more ridiculous than the AUD$450 (USD$393) I was quoted.:huh:Mick65_imp said:

Does anyone have a photo or a link of what the Givi rack looks like? Thanks!
