Hey Madman,
If its any help. It is universally known that the red ones go faster.

Of course there are some on here that will in fact debate that. But there wrong so there you go.
And i read on here quite recently that that it seems the Speedmaster is getting quite the reputation as a Girlie Bike.

Either way, what ever you get you are going to end up with a very nice motorcycle that will give you loads and loads of enjoyable riding.
Red America.....trust me, would this face lie?
