Greetings one and all!!

Post by captainmarko »

Just found this place. Picking up my 2015 Callisto Grey RT at the end of the month. All it took was one test ride and my 2014 Wing went up for sale! Can't wait.

Guys you have it all wrong. Grey is the undercoat for the ultra fast light blue :)

Ditch the `Grey' just use the  `faster' Blue !!!          :alas:

Right, I forgot....the slower grey goes on first and then the faster blue, which also doubles as a mirror when ones on the road! This will soon sound like a Monty Python scene if we're not careful ;-)

Right.

Which means the added weight of several coats of blue and clear coat significantly increases the weight of the bike, slowing it down.

The Gray is faster.

It's why I bought it. Dispense with the sour grapes.

It is by far the best motorcycle I have ever owned and I LOVE IT!!!!!
