Hope you like black...

The new 2013 Kawasaki's are online at Kawasaki's website. Other than black as the main color, there's not a lot of choices through out the entire line. Perhaps they need to sit down and have a talk with the folks that make those choices as to colors offered...lol

Just like the old Model Ts, any color you want as long as it was Black....
I personally don't care that much for black.

What, ya didn't like the Kawi green from this year, or the orange next year? I love the red, the blue was nice, but not my cup of tea. But I oh-so-love my black beauty!

It looks like black or denim/flat black are the ONLY colors for the Voyager and Vaquero. Kawasaki must not have added the rest of the colors to the site yet.

I've often wondered why more colors from the bike companies aren't offered. Riders sure don't get a lot of choices.

Harley gives you several choices each year, including limited run color choices, and Harley has the best paint in the industry.

You should get a job selling for them! Tell the truth, you're kinda like the "johnny appleseed" for Harley or maybe just a double agent LOL

Here in Australia I was given three choices for color when I bought my Vaquero. There was Black, Black or Black. It seems that black is all they bothered to import. On the plus side my choice was easy.

Given the dearth of color choices and the increase in prices, HD is looking more competitive. Over 19K for the Voyager ABS. and only flat black on the Voyager and still no ABS in the US for the Vaquero.
