yours looks exactly like mine. i think they only came in red or yellow, stock. mine is also painted black. go get the suspension professionally set at the ducati shop. it'll make a HUGE difference. they will do it with you sitting on it.
there is also a battery cable mod that is worth doing.
starting in 1999, the CR's got the same upgraded components as the full fairing SS, including the aluminum swingarm.
sweet bike. enjoy the hell out of it.
