Red, Yellow, Orange, Black or Metallic Blue.

Post by integerspin »

I have never bought because of colour, always bought what was local and the right price.
But now I find myself offered metallic blue and yellow bikes tat are OK, but I dont like the colour!
I would prefer a black bike.
Thoughts?

You are raving, howling at the moon, window licking mad!!!!!!! How can you prefer black over gorgeous PB215 Candy Tahitian blue? It’s not like it’s your bike or anything! Oh and I’m in no way biased (don’t look at my Avatar!) 😉

The colour of a motorcycle or car come to that have always played a big part in my decision when it came to purchasing either :D

To be honest, I like brighter colors than black. I think metallic blue looks better than black.

Reminds me of my ZXR.
I Bought a crashed one and was at the front of a long queue for it
outside the the blokes workshop. But he wanted it paid for and taken away.
So I drove home with a ZXR stuffed in the back of a golf.
