My 14 special is mysterious red. Bought with 800 miles on it. Happy hunting! Hope you find what you want, I'm sure happy with mine. I preferred the amber Whiskey of my Switchback, but I get a lot of compliments on the mysterious red and really I was just wanting anything that wasn't black or pink.
As far as the shocks go, I haven't experienced good shocks to say it's bad or not. It does feel better than my fld did. I weigh 150 and keep it at the lowest. I've seen a lot of complaints on other forums about the air shocks losing pressure which just added to my reasons to get a special.
