BLACK will add a couple hp's... 8)

I think charcoal metallic, titanium metallic, or some other dark gray metallic color would look great.
-
You're wanting the "Moondust" that was offered in the UK for 2009 (I think?)
-
I thought all you guys with the red ones that was the one and only color to have?
Two of the colors you list are already available in Concours, so it would almost make more sense to sell your red one and get one of the others in the color of your choice (the BLUE blows all the other colors away besides being known as the only truly fast C14 color).
If you're going to do this, at least pick some colors that are different. I saw a Hardly last night at Bike Nite that had been done up in a very cool looking root beer shade. Shimmered and was gorgeous and stood out from a lot of the other more common colors.
Hate to inject logic into this. I'll stop now.

FLAT BLACK !!!

Whatever you do make sure to use a quality automotive paint and have them strip the old paint ahead of time. I like the bike but it's the softest paint I've ever seen on a vehicle.

TEAM GREEN would be the way to go.

Pearl White

How about a burnt orange color? or med blue? If I repaint mine it's going to be BLACK

I like the white. Always looks clean

I like the pearl white idea too. Remember the VFR 750 back in the early 90's?.......sweet!

Now THAT'S green!!!!!

Has anyone seen the green the new Chevy Camaros are painted? It is similar to what manowarwi posted, but for some reason it really catches My eye. It sure got Me thinking about paint.

"root beer" paint jobs that I've seen -- and one of the Euro models of the C14 has something similar -- are a lighter, brighter and sparkly (some metalflake) brown. Root beer is what it's commonly called, but it's lighter than actual root beer. It's hard to find anything to compare it to because most browns are muddy and dull; these are bright.
Okay, here's and example: attractive blonde with an all-over light tan (ask her to prove it's all-over), so she's glowing. THAT color!
-
Now THAT'S green!!!!!
PACKERS green with yellow accents or yellow running lights!

Until it's dirty . . . which commonly takes about 10 minutes, which is TWICE the time before a black bike shows dirt.

This is more of what I am thinking....

Shouldn't painting be a winter time project?
