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

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

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!

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!

Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver! Buy the Silver!

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

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.

EpicBadass · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2011, 09:10:11 AM »

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......

Conrad · « **Reply #19 on:** June 23, 2011, 09:15:22 AM »

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.
