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!
