I finalized a deal on a new 2011 C-14.  Now the hard part - What color should I get?  Most say the black is hard to keep looking good.
What do you all think?

Geez, I think I would get the color you like.  To heck with what everybody else thinks

yeah! that's what I say........Now go get that black bike because everyone knows it's sexy and the fastest.

Five minutes to wipe it down with a micro-fiber towel.....dust gone.

You had an '08? Time for a color change.

Sexyashellblack vs. silverdamnit? No brainer.

BLACK! 

Any color but BLACK!!!

Good call Joe.....

The important question is-what does SWMBO like? 

What Excavator said is true. I bought a black one and just went on a 3 day trip. Took 2 small microfiber cloths with me, wiped it down with a wet cloth and dried it off with the dry one... 5 minutes or less and it was like new! Don't be afraid of black, it is cool!

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

Any color but BLACK!!!

Ditto!!!!!

Black looks great when clean. The problem is that it's almost never clean. It shows everything (dust, dirt, every friggin' scratch or swirl, etc.). It attracts the suns heat, so it's hotter to ride in the summer. Your always cleaning it, or it looks like $h!t. Simply put, don't make the same mistake many others have, and buy black! The guys that will tell you to buy black are the ones that screwed up and bought black themselves. And now they can't lose face by admitting it!

That's right! It's a no brainer.

Silverdammit!

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

Buy black, Zaino it and ride it!

Black

I just put PR3's on and could have gone with the 55. Does it really make that much difference?

I am a black fanatic so I have a black, but consider this. Silver will always look cleaner. It reflects light. Also will not show swirl marks like black and if u get nicks here and there it will not show anywhere near what the black will.

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 silver bikes out there...... 

Black bikes and cars do look great when clean, but like most have already said, they're hard to keep clean.

Reminds me of this song.
