Am I the only one who hates the red CBR?

I'm eyeing up getting a 650r, I have been for awhile but I'm having trouble getting over the blue stripes they chose to put on the red color. Seriously? Am I the only one who thinks they clash horrendously?

Sure the fairing decals can be removed but having to repaint or wrap the tank on a brand new bike feels.. Wrong, not to mention the cost.

But I'm just wondering am I the only person who is annoyed at this color combo more than I probably should be?

Is there any way to remove the db killer from this slip on?

I just got a new to me R3 with this knockoff exhaust and I can't see any way to remove any kind of baffle. There's no screw or tack weld. Is it possible to remove and killer from this or is the silencer built in?

Having it a bit louder would make me feel a bit safer on the highway.

Accidentally bought Power 5 tires, should I return them?

I'm a newbie and got my first bike! Picked up a 2015 R3 but it needs some basic maintenance to be road ready so I got new tires.

I ordered Michelin Power 5 tires but after reading more reviews I realized they're more for spirited rides/track use and cornering. Obviously not cheap rubber.

I won't be commuting or anything, I mainly got the bike to have something fun to do on the country roads on the weekend.

Should I return them and get something like the Road 5 or 6? I'd have to pay return shipping and a restocking fee. I'm mostly concerned with them getting slick in the rain.
