Red? Nonsense! Purple is the fastest colour. Everyone knows you get 10bhp from purple paint compared to 8bhp from Red.

Standard colour as anything else rings alarm bells with potential buyers and cost you money.

Black and chrome for a nice bike. Matt black for a shitter. At the moment mine is somewhere between the two.

Kenny Roberts-esque speedblock colours have always appealed to me though.

I'm fond of a pearl white hue on bikes. The two which I have in my collection, 848s, Monsters, KTMs, R1s.....look classy when done well.

Won't look any sort of right considering the colours of your wheels/frame - I'd opt for a black to match (maybe a gunmetal), some pics/Photoshopping is required methinks.
