I think CDBiker may be onto something here. The frame color could possibly be used as the trigger that grabs people's attention. This was certainly the case back when the frames were nickle plated (CD's friend must have never seen a 1999-2003 gasser). Older guys on here will remember how beautiful and desirable the old Metise Triumphs, BSAs, and Bultacos were. Metise (spelling?) was an aftermarket company that made plated frames.
I loved my old bike (07ec300 with 2010 plastics) it looked and ran great but I just had to have one of those new red framed bikes.
