22,000 miles, $3K, looks very sharp with the 2 up seat and black hand rail.
Wish I could swing another bike!

- October 29, 2013, 18:38:53 PMThat powder blue really is something else, gotta say.
I'm with ya, though. I'll be putting together a separate set of clothes for my oxblood / ivory.
Not that I don't like it, I just can never make up my mind.

- October 29, 2013, 17:03:54 PMI've come to the conclusion that I'll have to paint mine one day. I thought of a 2 tone, black with antique light yellow inserts, or maybe antique seafoam green inserts. Turquoise is also high on the list. If I were doing a red and black combo, I'd flip the colors from stock and have a metallic maroon bike with black inserts, just to set it apart.

SHARP with the black forks, IMOVent I'm not positive if this is a factory color , but 3yrs ago I missed out on buying an 800 ( black version ) that was baby blue in color and looked amazing with all the upgrades that were added . Honestly I'm a fan of all colors I guess ,as long as the mods coincide . I'm a big fan of the gooseberry and will hunt one down when the funds are available , of course .
This list shows pics of all the different factory paint jobs.

I think the most rare, from what I've seen, is the 2000 1500 Turquois. I've only seen 1 for sale, the other day, I think in FLA. But, you know, it seems to go in waves. For a while I saw a bunch of gooseberry's for sale, and haven't seen one for a while now...

Very tempting, but I just can't spring for another bike now. That powder blue color with everything else blacked out is just a knock out.Vent I'm not positive if this is a factory color , but 3yrs ago I missed out on buying an 800 ( black version ) that was baby blue in color and looked amazing with all the upgrades that were added .

- October 28, 2013, 20:06:29 PMmy favorites are as follows
for the 800 either a solid red or black.
theme look would be Army green and that theme.......
for the 1500
the Gooseberry then the oxblood red and Ivory....
that is my vote.....

- October 28, 2013, 19:51:22 PMMy favorite factory color for the Drifter was the Gooseberry on the blacked out 99 model, but now I'm thinking I prefer the 2-tone Ebony/Ox Blood Red....
I think when I get the cash for my new (to me) 1500 I might have to go for a 2002-2003 in that color.
What are other peoples favorite factory color?
