Has been beautifully painted mat black. It has a slip on zard pipe which sounds awesome. It currently has a raised seat for taller riders, and you can take the saddle seat which you might prefer if you need to be positioned lower (the saddle seat was $1000). You can also take the ohlins rear shock (another $1000), brand new in the box, I haven’t got around to putting in on (glad it came in black to match the bike instead of gold).
