New bike on the cards... what colour?

[Leggy_Girl]

So it's time i got a new bike. I love my faithful and springy little DT but after 3 years i'm bored of it. I need something with a bit more power and a lot more oomph!

So i've decided i'm going to buy the new XJ6 from Yamaha, but i'm stuck on the colour.

There's yellow, and i do love bright colours:

Black, which is great for concealing dirt :

Or shiny white, which is very eye catching:

I like them all equally and am torn!

What why don't they do a proper colour like RED? ....

But...

I'd probably go for yellow or black out of those choices in that white bikes always go a horrible yellow colour quite quickly , while yellow and black will fade but it won't look Urine coloured.

White, followed by yellow, with black last.

I'd ride a pink bike before a purple one.

In this case, the white one is the snazziest looking
The black one looks rather brutish, though
The yellow one just shouts "Look at me" in a way that makes your eyeballs itch.

White, it contrasts with the black chassis, engine and cycle components better than the yellow. Stick some white rim tape on it and you're laughing!

Yellow FTW!

The black bike is ok, but won't really stand out as there isn't much shiney stuff or chrome on the XJ. The white doesn't work well for me, as to make white look great you need alot more surface area, or a fully faired bike in other words.

[Rowey]

White then black. I do like yellow bikes, but that doesn't appeal, needs to be a bit darker I think.

The white looks smart and eye catching. The black looks aggressive and stealthy.

colours a bit off but hope that helps

[Leggy_Girl]

Spot on! Thanks very much for doing that

I like it more with the grey bit painted yellow, but i'm not entirely convinced still. I think i'm going to buy the white one... or the black

I know yellow is the fastest colour, and i've always wanted a lovely yellow bike, but i'm not sure if this is the one... i've always had a soft spot for yellow GSXR's, so maybe i'll get one of those one day.

I really wish someone could decide for me. As you can see i fall apart when given too much choice; a bit like when there's 100 parking spaces free and yet you still don't know which one to park in!

All the FZ6s I've seen are still white after a year or two.

I very much doubt that modern bikes fade much, especially not in the time you'll own it....unless you own it for 10+ years

yellow!!

I was in a yamaha dealer today, they didn't have the yellow one but out of the black and white, I though the white one stood out as the nicer of the two.

They also had a dark red one with a headlight fairing which was pretty nice.

Black for me as it looks nicest, and also as it looks a chunky bike.
