These are only one off special editions, but still really cool. I especially like the Gulf one, but I love that paint scheme in general.

Thats cool. This year was the 40th anniversary of Unadilla (mx track in central NY). The factories all dressed up their bikes to look like the bikes of the past. Honda did a silver/green tribute to the 73 Elsinore, a red/blue tribute to the mid 80's and a 90's tribute. Missed doing a red engined late 70's tribute though. Not as cool as what Duc did here, but at least recognizing the past, which is a bit tricky on a mx bike.

Agreed. The Hayden scheme is just kind of tacky.
