Help with colour choice...

[manwithav8]

OK, so here is the story..... For sometime I have wanted a bike and have finally made up my mind on what I want, however the colour is tearing me in two at the moment.....

I should be hearing from the bank this afternoon with good news to go ahead and have Emoto (great people I might add) snatch up a Ducati Monster M900 and have it delivered for me...

The problem is, I like two colour schemes.... The red and the monster dark are both appealing to me....

Now, after speaking with alot ofr friends they have put the argument across as "if it is a Ducati, it has to be red".... Then on the other side, the Monster dark ( black ) just looks so evil and aggressive...

Please help, I don;t know which colour to choose.... Give the good and bad of each colour if you can.....

Many thanks..

Hopefully will have the Monster in about 3 months time so I can get out there with some of you lot and enjoy some good rides......

It's going to be YOUR bike, man! YOU choose.
Try imagining that you've bought on the red bike, and how you feel about not choosing the black one, and vice-versa. If you've got some imagination, it should tell you what's in your heart.

Personally, the black would be my choice, but you've got to decide for yourself.

You know what you have to do.

Come on this thread has to have pics!

Admittedly this is the 620 Dark, couldn't find the 900 in dark guise.

I am leaning toward the monster dark.......A bit more thought will go into it before purchase though so no rush.... It has taken me a while to decide on the Monster over other choices lol

[Marknz]

go for the Monster Dark dude... you don't have to be following the rest of the Ducatisti.

[manwithav8]

Monster dark lol.....Yes I think that might have to be the way to go..

Well, from a safe point of view, red is seen better...:Police:

Ok, enough with the boring "do the right thing bit" (although important): JET BLACK is definitely so much sexier....Girls will pay more attention to a guy on a black, evil looking machine than one on a red bike.

The red just seem to go " Ouuu, look at me, I have a shiny bike!":scooter:
Where the black just seems to command attention..

A bit like Darth Vader.....

Did I mention I have a fascination with black leather?:love:

Ok..Moving right along....

[manwithav8]

funny bro..... But I think what you said is right.... Make it shinney for the WOW look at me factor, but make it dark and dingy for the get outta my way or I'll eat you up factor lol

Nicely summed up... :yes:
Enjoy when you do get it. I personally turned away from the latest Monster cos of the noise from the dry clutch... It detracts completely from the awesome look of the bike.
But then again, it means you just have to keep revving it so you don't let the engine go into iddle...:Punk:

Have fun!

Which I might add, with that sound and the look of darth vader coming down the road, small children and animals will be scared shitless.. I like that thought hahahaha.. Beware the possessed jackhammer idling down the road lol

Pink with purple poker dots could be the go.......:yes: HTH

Black sounds dead sexy to me. Red is nice but black rocks

[manwithav8]

the mrs would love it to be pink hahahahah
Chikadee I think black rocks too however, Peter at Emoto has said to get a black one it would be a little out of my budget...

So the plan is, will get the red one, then nect winter strip her down and get a nice black repaint!!!!

Come on this thread has to have pics!

:gob: OMG.. that is SOOOOOOOO ferkin sexy!!!! :drool: :drool:

[manwithav8]

I so want a black one but red will have to do for now....

[nudemetalz]

Alrighties.
As much as I love red (that's why my Guzzi is nearly red) the black does look better on this machine.

[nudemetalz]

Plus red is only for kiddies.... :shutup: :dodge:

[Mattzxr750]

If you buy a duke it should be red
If you buy a suzuki it should be blue
If you buy a yamaha it should be yellow
If you buy a Kawasaki it should be green
But fuck that its up to you and my Quacker is yellow :rockon:
