This more like silver than green, colors may not be accurate on the computer monitor.

Yeah, it's an aftermarket shield on the one I've seen. The vent kept popping open when I was riding on the freeway.
I spoke with the green guy and I should be gettin' a look at that bike by Tuesday.

Maybe I should be looking for something newer. I don't want to be fixin' stuff right off the bat.

Looks like the titanium they had on some later models to me, not sure if they had that in 02.
The titanium (Challenger brown Y181P) on the 2004 for the first time. 2007 and 2008 also. In 2009, they had a color called Mesquite Brown that looked similar but different paint code. A little darker. The 2002 was silver stream metallic
I saw most of these when my dealer still had some models on the floor.

Funny John would mention the Madstad windshield, D & D has a 2007 for sale with one of them. Going down tomorrow to look at a different 2007. Same color but a lot less chrome.
The 2007 would be a better choice. No more frame problems, larger radiators and possibly premium audio. Plus no reported problems with the ECM failure. The only thing to verify is the brake recall being done.

Wonder if Mark remembers me?
he took care of my 86SEi and the '94SE that Penski bought

IIRC,
the last time I called, his partner had passed away?

Well, except for the rack on the trunk, that 2007 seems pretty nice. Looked to be leaking on both forks though, and the rear wheel was in need of some serious cleaning.
The price was pretty high, too. $10,875 out the door.

I asked Mark if he'd trade the trunk lid and rack for the bare trunk lid on the other silver '07 they had, but he was against it.
If he'd gone for that I probably would have bought it.
