Nah, if that were true, they'd not be those red prototype models.

oh wow , the red and whites rule . you other guys are just jealous .

[Anti-Dive Dave]

Maybe thats why I have a mish mash of colours on mine.....so as to try and appease the FJ gods....showing that I am not colour biased.

I pilot a "Heinz-57" FJ. (the british folk will know what that means!)

I source what I can, and my "techni-coloured dreamboat" would horrify the FJ purists out there.

But original 1TX red n' white plastics are rare (in good nick), so I have fitted what was/is available at the time.

Red front fender....black fairing...silver side panels and tail piece...gloss black chin scoop.....  

Oh yes indeed! - I have a 1TX-3XY-ZZR-ABS-WTF model!

Hang on a minute!.....I don't have any ABS colours (the blue and white), and now I may have to source a panel to complete the colour scheme....

colored duct tape is your friend , you should have seen my fj at the first rally i attended . fresh from a crash I had a few months earlier and all duct taped together.

It was an awesome sight that should have awarded me" the most tore up award ".

It doesn't have to be pretty just keep on Rolling.

We know what it means over here in the states, too

I read it here... the voted most popular color FJ wasn't the red ones.

Most were out riding and too busy to vote...

Ahh yes...the power of tinternet!  I just thought Heinz was a brit thing....y'mean, they made it over there too!  Cool!

As for the preferred colour scheme....can I stick my neck out and say......

I don't like the red n' white as a first choice.  It's too...erm....yamaha-ish.

Yeah, I know, I got one.  (well, it's only part red n' white)

Personally, I like the black and gold version.

I like ALL my bikes black and gold.  Next if I win the lottery is a kawasaki GPZ900R...in the black and gold.

Ooops, did I just mention a kwak on a yam site?  my bad!  

At least with my multi-coloured swap shop I can just wear me standard black leather jacket.....with belstaff waxed trousers, tackety boots and cloth/Thinsulate gloves.

Yes...I do look as if I have fallen out of a thrift store dumpster when on my bike.

If I was to prefer the red n white colour scheme, and had a bike in nice condition, I may get carried away and want to go the full hog by wearing the matching leathers...

I mean COME ON! - there's no-one THAT obsessed...is there?

Aww crap......
