I think you should push for the green one if that's what you want. I don't understand why color should be restricted to black for the US. Dealers need to understand a few things. One, if they want to make a sale they need to provide what the customer wants, not what they feel like providing them. Two, if somebody wants a green bike they better damn well sell them a green bike. It's not like the DOT or the EPA restricts the color to black. Not offering the green bike in the US is baffling. It would seem to me that Honda would want to sell as many as they can sell, and a one-color option undermines the goal.
I agree 157%. However that was a guess by the sales guy. He was not sure of a bunch of stuff, he just knew it was official. I'm hoping other colors are available, but I don't hate the black.
I really wanted to like the new M1100's being I have a 696, but for some reason the larger size ruins the look for me. I can't quite pin it down, but I think it's just like when you lower a car it generally looks cooler... it's just a hunch, but painfully the bigger bro is meh for me.
The S4/S2 I dig in a major way, but I came to the Duc party way late. I like buying new things in general over used. I know it's dumb when you can score a low mileage deal, but I generally have bad luck with most appliance/toy type item I buy, so I go new for the inevitable warranty issues that will pop up. Plus, on the upside, it gives you used buyers something to buy. Keep the (pardon the pun) cycle alive.
Before I offend any Mexican's with my "Mexican Green" comment, soy one half Mexican. You would never know it looking at me though, I'm pretty gringo looking, but my Mom is from the homeland. My gringa GF always laughs at me when I point out cool cars and bikes because they are always bright yellow, green, or orange.... She will say "just when you fool me into thinking your a straight up white cracker, that mexican comes shooting out of cannon". What can I say I like some flash vatos.
