I think all the SESG colors are sharp. Foolish or not I don't really care about what other peoples preference might be on this thing when I'm done with it. The last thing this machine is, is an investment for good monetary capital. It's for enjoyment. Get away from that and I think you miss the point.
I make moderate decisions with my home that way, because it is that type of an investment where I need to make decisions that fit a criteria where changes are cost effective, beneficial to me and my family, and appealing to a broad range of buyers. When I do the work myself and am frugal about tools and materials I get to enjoy the benefits of the remodeling and usually make a profit. Not the same thing with a machine that depreciates the day you buy it.
My plan for now is to keep this bike. Maybe it will stay in the family, but I have no plans to trade it in later/ever.
I hope you didn't tell your wife this...trust me that chit will come back to haunt you.

I told my wife that the 08 SG would be my commuter and never get traded in and I'd run it into the ground....well, along comes the '10 SESG, and the rest, as they say, is history. I don't subscribe to the theory anymore.

(Besides, my better half knows me better than that when I say I'll never get rid of this...hehe)
