New C-14 - what color?

[Son of Pappy]

Black all the way.

It may get dirty looking faster but its more incentive to care for it and keep it clean!  To think of all them neglected rolling silver bikes out there...... 

FIFY    Polish or ride?  Buy something with lots of bling, saves gas, at home polishing chrome

Nah, I just use the time during slow afternoons at work to clean the bike so it's ready for me when I CAN ride

[mkorn]

I love to look at OTHER peoples black bikes ... but i dont ever want to own any black vehicles.
Wife's Tahoe is a nightmare to keep clean ... and is always so damn hot.

Pity you can't change the deal and find a nice, new (not to mention FASTEST) BLUE 2010.

Having had Black vehicles before, no interest in ever having another one until I win the lottery and can afford a full-time live-in garage attendant. Preferably she would look good in short-shorts. I got better things to do and places to be than cleaning a bike.

[Frank ZZR]

I currently have a 2010 Blue. If I had to do it again I would probably go with Silver. I've had them all including Black. It all depends on your personality. If you stress as I do over dust and swirl marks, buy silver. Silver or white are stress free colours.

[Mister Tee]

Once you've had black, you'll never go back... to another black bike! 

Dammmmmmmnnnnnn right!

But if the Tee had a choice, that Triumph Green color that is offered in the European model would be it.  Tee does like his blue 2010.

All the silver proponents say the same thing; black looks great until it gets dirty.

At that point, it doesn't look so great, so you may as well get the silver which doesn't look so great all the time.

Sooooo . . . I'm taking a wild guess that you have SILVER?

Nooooo.....I have the black! Because when you wash the silver bike, it still doesn't look as good as the dirty black one!

That new silver is a perfect color. If you change your mind I'll swap it with my "Gets Dirty Fast Blue One". I would have paid an extra $1000 for silver over blue. Black are nasty dirty bikes. I can't even stand the fingerprints on them in the showroom when new. IMHO.

[con05]

I'll put the tech spec pads on it and I'm thinking of doing some black pin stripping to make it pop.

From the NY International Motorcycle Show this winter. Look how much the black shows stuff compared to the Silver! As always, the black looks like $h!t.

They should put a sign on the bike that says "lift your leg dumb ass"...

[Rawman]

Then all the dogs would have a spot to "go".......

[Fearless]

Steve,

Can you explain in further detail? I'll be replacing my PR2s in another 1000 miles. does the 190/55 provide a more nimble profile and handling (flick ability)?

They all get faster in the turns with 190/55 Michelin PR3s
