2021 cbr650r north america colors?

[Notgoingtocrash]

Hello, looking to get my first sports bike and I have settled on the cbr650r! Question why is the only available color for north america black? It looks amazing but I prefer red not only for looks but for visibility as well. I see they have red ones in other countries. Will red scheme be coming to north america? Anything helps before i purchase mine in a month. Thank you

needs to be a '21? i am pretty sure the '20 and '19 models had red/black, which i agree looks better! could be cheaper too.

In Canada, 2021 is matte black and a dark grey. This model also has upgrade front fork.

2019-2020 they had the gloss black and dark red

I believe 21 has upgraded front forks and they adjusted the screen so you can see better in sunlight. Also has a usb-c charging port under the seat? I could get 20 model but was wanting the fresh newest model you know lol. Just strange no red, first thing I see when I picture a Honda product

I was disappointed that the 2021's will only be available in matte black. I like the red much better and also the visibility issue...
