You can always have it painted any color you wish. Removing the tank, mud guard, fender and side covers isn't as bad as you think. Or you could pay the body man to do it for you. My Roadster was Phantom Black (shiny black) when I bought it. They couldn't find a Matte Black (not shiny) in the states at the time and I got tired of waiting. I got the bike, rode it for a little while and took everything off the bike. Took me about a hour to take everything off. I didn't have to take the parts off but it would've been more money if the painter had to do it. Had it painted the Triumph Matte black. Reinstalled everything myself. The painter charged $300 and did such a good job I gave him a $50 tip. Don't let color stand in the way of riding a bike that you really like.
