I commute in the morning riding my bike on a ferry between Kingston and Edmonds, Washington. Motorcycles always get to load and unload before cars and cost less than half as much to take on the ferry.
Departing the boat in Edmonds I spotted what I swear was a yellow NC700x sitting on the dock to take the boat in the opposite direction. I was dumbfounded. There are no yellow NC700x's being sold in the states.
I consider to do a U-turn on the ferry dock but the rider is nowhere spotted around (probably in the restroom) and I happened to have left my phone at work the night before so no pictures. I didn't want to risk the wrath of the ferry workers so I kept going on my merry way.
I stopped at a light and asked my friend who also rides to work by motorcycle on roughly the same route and compared notes. He also thought it was a yellow NC700x. He asks me if I think it is a 2013. I say no. No word of 2013's yet. I say I think it is a Canadian on his way to Rich's (a local custom motorcycle seat shop that has quite a few Canadian customers). I get to work and pull up the Canadian Honda site. I don't see them in yellow. There is the 700s in silver and yellow but it appears the yellow is just a slight accent.
So I have no idea what it is that I saw. I can only guess somebody painted theirs yellow. I was planning on stopping by Rich's on Saturday to make an appointment and discuss if the rear seat would create any problems so I will inquire if they have seen any others yet or had a yellow bike in the shop on Thursday.
