Well, she is black and grey, was born in 06 and I am in love! I made the suspension adjustments as recommended on this site. Got rid of the shovel, all but one of the warning labels, and removed the reflectors. Installed a TRE (WTF is a TRE?) as soon as I got home. I have not ridden in about ten years and boy have bikes changed! I am taking very conservatively and I am blown away by the handling, stability, and effortless power. Thanks to everyone at this site for all of the very informative posts that have helped me make this decision. I love it!
