Decisions decisions - is colour a personal choice?

[cerruti]

Ive decided to go for the kawasaki ER6F. Im looking at last year's model as its a bit cheaper and also because I don't like the colour of this year's model - apologies to all you green kwaka lovers out there! ;D

I have a choice between last years burnt orange, or standard black, and Im not sure which to go for. Half of me really likes the burnt orange and thinks that its different, stands out, is high vis and slightly quirky but the other half of me says black all the way, as its timeless and impersonal.

Not that Im planning to, but my head tells me that if I go to sell this bike in the future, the black would be more saleable than the orange - is this true?

Only a personal opinion, but I wouldn't buy a black bike. A difficult question really because 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. I would say whatever colour you prefer go with that.

I would choose Black - but guys do tend to go for dark rather than bright colours.

IMHO I would go for the Orange over black as I can testify @car drivers@ are not looking out for bikes at the best of times and you need all the help you can get to be seen

If I was going to continue riding I would be seriously considering a Hi-Viz Jacket or waistcoat :-[

Sadly, the ER6F isnt available in pink :'(

My Harley is black so im leaning towards the orange just to be different.

I'd prefer the burnt orange ..... more visible, a more interesting colour too.!!!!

different, stands out, is high vis and slightly quirky. Orange

timeless and impersonal. Black

look at your own descriptions and get the bike that you really fancy try not to see it in terms of a potential future sale I know thats not easy when the readies arent easily come by but If you really like the orange one get the orange one !!!

Noooo dont get the orange one... you will clash with my BMW K1300s!!!!!
