How important is the colour of your bike to you?

[gazmascelle]

my cbr is black, looks nice, but i seem to be invisible to everyone else on the road. Both my yamahas were red.. i still miss them

[LBD]

And I still cannot make up my mind which colore I like best.....either Red...or maybe white....possibly green.....

Next will likely be Black on Black ....the kind of deep black that light tends to slide right off it, bit like Hot Black Desoto's space ship....

[cowboyz]

no contest! Its gotta be green!

Triumph green....lol

Find I get bored of a bike easier if colour wasn't really included in reason for purchase. Like having a bike that stands out from boring black.

Don't really mind buying second hand. However if I hate the colour......its going to get resprayed.

I have taken a liking for black or white bikes when I buy new however.

According to another thread once upon on KB land...black is not a colour, neither is white!!!!

Ergo...black and white bikes are invisible - this we know as the cager did quote "I didn't see a bike"

Ahhhhh ok.
This must be from those who believe all crashes are not their fault.

Current bike is burnt orange which is OK I guess.

I'll see your burnt orange and raise you a scorched yellow (Daytona 675). It's one of those colours which quite suits the bike but I still look at it sometimes and cringe and other times start drooling

I once looked at a Duc that was yellow...in that case, the colour was a factor in not buying it (compounded by a complete lack of money as well, you unnerstand...)

[crazyhorse]

so long as its not green, I really wouldn't care what colour it is..........so long as it goes well with no problems and feels fantastic to ride

[Gone Burger]

I am a sucker for white bikes. Just think they stand out nicely on the road, catch attention. Mine is a compromise of black and white, but I think when I look for a wee sports toy I would be stoked to get me one in white. Of course, would be happy with anything affordable and fun in decent condition, but IF I had the option....

White is Right in my eyes.

I mean that in the most non racist way you could imagine.

Hard to keep looking good though

Mmmm lets see. across the garage floor...red, red, red..and a red SV8 to match. When asking for touch-up paint I ask for "mid-life crisis red" ... (PPG-473.101 is the paint code..)

Bit like this thing,wake up after a big night at a rally and it sometimes makes me want to chuck,other times in the right light its looks ok.its different i will give it that.

I like anything as long as it's not black or red. Can't be like all you common folk now can I. Which is probably why I waited 7 months to get my bike so it wasn't black or red.

Know what ya mean. Sometimes I reckon that colour looks like it has a slight calf-shit green about it, others it looks brilliant. Trumpy just being different again...

"Let's see how much of this crap we can mix in and get away with. It'll be sooo funny. People will have to have a second look to see if they've seen right". Bloody british

Some days I think my blue looks crap and other days it really pops. I heard insurance companies in the know hate the Scorched Yellow. Apparently it's damn near impossible to colour match perfectly so you have to replace full parts instead of sides.
