So, white is the new black…

A stunning orange Kawasaki Versys in dunedin.

Yeah I have seen that!

[Tony.OK]

Damn..........all those manufacturers have copied my race scheme

[Mountlocal1]

I'm sure someone would just love the white Z1000!

I was in two minds about whether to buy the white RSVR or get a black/red one. Now I've got the white one, I'd own another in a flash because I've grown to love it.

White definitely needs to be offset against something, be it the engine or decals.

White RSV does look cool.. Im still struggln with the white Z tho.. Guess you right, someone will love it. Just wont be me. I'l take black thank you sir.

I've just found this picture here. And I thought Kawasaki wasn't doing white sportbikes!

I think you're right about that particular model. It looks like crap in white!

Shit your bike is very very cool!

Yep.. Especially the mismatched seats (bronze/orange &black) and the bronze/orange forks and parts of the wheels...

p.s...

How come only the hot girls get all the hits on their profiles.... I need attention too! Yes Im talking about the owner of the grey suzuki.

I recently heard a comment stating that white is apparently the new black (this was used in the context of a Lamborghini).

Oh, forgot to say, my neighbour at work has a burnt orange Lamborghini Spyder, it looks neat with the black roof. Will post a picture tomorrow. It's not bad for a slow old cage.

I can think of the Busa, RC8 and Z1000 that come in orange. What others are you aware of?

The MV Brutale also comes in Orange

[MotoGirl]

The MV Brutale also comes in Orange

Ahh yes. I've also just remembered the GSX-R1000 came out in orange with all the carbon fibre bits.

Hmm, the orange just doesn't work for me. And for loads of others as well, despite the bling (carbon freebies), they usually sit for a while before a new owner is found...

You're right. I certainly wouldn't buy an orange Gixxer if I was in the market for one again. Now yellow, I could do...

...

So, what's the verdict. Is white the new black?

White is white... black is black... red is red always has been always will be

I recently heard a comment stating that white is apparently the new black (this was used in the context of a Lamborghini). If you take this statement and apply it to bikes, I would have to agree with it considering we’re seeing the bikes becoming predominantly more white and manufacturers suddenly bringing them out when we’ve never really seen them in that colour before. Just take the 848, for example.

Here are a few of the 08/09 models to prove my point:

• Ducati 848
• KTM RC8 and Superduke
• BMW K1300R and K1300S
• Triumph Street Triple
• Aprilia RSVR and Shiver
• Kawasaki ZX14, ER6N, Z1000 and ZX-10R (Monster replica)
• Honda VFR800, CBR1000 and CBR600
• Suzuki Hayabusa 2008, Hayabusa 2009, GSX-R600 and GSX-R750
• Yamaha R1, another R1 and R6.
• MV Brutale?

So, what's the verdict. Is white the new black?

You forgot buell 2003 and 2008
