Just picked it up last night.  She sure is a dream to ride, and the best part...It was my wife's idea.  Who's going to argue with that?  Of course, there goes B-Day's and X-mas's for the next few years but it was worth it 
Mine is black, I'll get some descent pictures when the sun is actually shining.  Here's a stock photo.  2009 Yamaha V-Star 950. Runs smoother than the 1300. Take your $100 and stuff it Obama, I'll stimulate the economy in my own way.
Lets see pictures of your rides.
