well the gsx-r does come in solid colors, unless you mean the frame being the same color too... i personally think it needs some contrast. But I've seen a fair share of the new gixxers with solid silver and a couple with solid gunmetal. the frames of both are black and they look pretty decent.... I prefer some sort of graphics though
As far as the 2005 model, the exhaust is kinda funky, and the only real cosmetic improvement in my opinion is the tail section. But sounds to me like the performance will be impressive.
