If there's going to be no other gold highlights on the bike then go for black.

Do some gold highlighting. Black and gold looks awesome.

Its a tough one allright, the black looks mean but the gold looks bling.
Also most have made the point of the Gold needing to be accentuated elsewhere to pull the look off as at the moment all the Gold is on the wheels and nowhere else.

I dont think its so much the choice between black and gold but the choice bewteen "Do i want to blend in or stand out?"

For blending, black is the obvious choice.

For standing out - Gold.

I like the attention i get on my bike, hence why it is green as it makes peoples heads turn.

You wont need to put more gold on the bike if you get the gold rims unless it was pinstriping otherwise more solid gold on the bike would make it look "blocky".

The Gold looks the shitz mate.

Get gold riding gear to really stand out.(p/t)

Mate I would usually say black, but this time its bling it. A few more little gold hightlight will really set it off too! Maybe an ohlins rear spring, nice gold on those suckers.

The gold looks great, but black with some of that gold rim tape would look sweet.

I'd like to see a pic with the "dark metallic grey" decal colour, to break it up, yet stay in line with the theme! However if the choice is out of the two options, I'd vote black!
