WOW, that really looks good!!! I had been debating about those but never seen a good photo. I really like it. I think I would get the solid red one but I still really like it.

My wife rides also, and we just took a saftey course together. Right now we share an '04 800, which I'm sure you will agree, is a perfect bike for her. Hopefully in the near future, I want to get a matching 1000DS for me and the 800 be her's full time!!!!!!!!!
