LOL, the green does stand out somewhat! Mine has still got that impact, but with the green broken up with the back tank! I'm with you, I never thought I'd like a green bike so much; I had a ZX-9R E1 in red and black that I thought was stunning and a Yamaha YZF-600 (Thundercat in the UK) in red, black and white, but the N1K is without doubt the best bike I have ever had, the riding position is comfortable without being like an arm-chair, the engine is phenomenal with dump-truck loads of torque and it looks great as well.
