They are not all the same color. FCZach's is black, and I have seen one on eBay that was silver.

Chad, are you on crack?

If I was I would be the size of Paul Jr.

And yes, they came in silver, blue, red, orange, and black.
I actually have found a blue one that I want to buy since I was gonna paint this one blue. So I might have two RE5's soon.

To answer some questions:

It does run and shifts fine, but it will need some work hence the price of $2500.
I have not had anytime to go over the bike. I have found some small problems and want to soak it in seafoam then a few oil changes.
If it ran perfect the price would be much higher.
This RE5 is not like most as it has the cover over the gauges and matching tail light, hard to find.
Some small repairs and elbow grease would make this a sweet bike.

Also, If I cant get the blue one I will keep this one.
Chad
