I very much like that, not to mention the most visibility your gonna have in a moto color!

Where's the bike? I'm GOING to paint mine, I just haven't settled on a color. I DO like that white. But I want a color that looks good even when it's dirty. Because I only clean it about 4 times a year!

The painted lower too was a nice touch!

I've come to be comfy with the blue color of my 2010 ABS C14, but I would certainly like to choose from a group of colors.

The ST1300 and FJR ... as well as the C14 .... seem to only make one (or at best 2 colors) per year. Guess that is less expensive, but not very consumer savvy IMO.

I do care for the white one, tho. And, Kawa green would be kewl, too.

Kawi green makes me want to barf. But the Triumph green they put on the Euro spec 2010's is sweetness...

But back on topic, that bike does look very nice. It seems like it should have some sort of corporate logo on it though. I would happily ride one as a logoed company vehicle.

Come on, we all know every Connie should be painted Hi-Viz yellow.

Well, there has to be a reason why the good colors are only sold overseas. Maybe Kawi USA thinks that "mature" riders want a nice calm color (think hospital colors) that won't send anyone into a state of shock. Neutron grey, black, maroon, silver, and blue are intended to keep the older (mature) riders from having a myocardial infarction, but I think that it just keeps traffic from noticing us.

I want a blaze orange C14, that will keep traffic awake, and also draw more attention from LEO's. So maybe I will stick with my boring neutron grey.

I like the dark candy green kawi put on last years ZX14 better than any color I've seen "Kawi" do on anything to date.

That's 3 times more often than I get to it . . . maybe 4 times.

I saw a yellow one while watching the Tour de France and it looked really good. Not hi-viz, but the standard yellow I've seen on Goldwings and sportbikes. I have to say, I've always been a fan of yellow on bikes and sportscars and it does the C14 justice.

I like the white! BTW, I have owned three ST bikes - notice any similarity? While I like the blue, it is a total fluke that all three have been this color. I'm ready for a change!

Rowlander · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2011, 07:59:59 PM »

Beat me to it... I get mine back from the shop on friday. I'm not having the lower fairing painted white though.

People like blue because they can't handle the Black! They want dark, but just worry about the 'hottness' from the Black! Its ok, you'll get there my friend!

WOW! White is the S@#t!

Ironic that the photo had a white background making that bike harder to see.

I like it in white and it would be much easier to see than idiots like me on gray bikes. Now you need a dark green stripe along the bottom and "Polizei" on the rear bag. Add a green 'stich and a white helmet and you'd be the man.

I am seriously thinking about painting it white this winter.....the hardest part will be convincing my wife why a brand new bike needs a new paint job. $:-\$

The just concluded 2011 Tour de France had a couple of GTR1400 chase bikes in matte white. They looked great.
