Bike colours

[map]

Found that some research has been done that black motorcycles are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as cream-color motorcycles. Sadly I don't have any links from where I read this but possibly from colormatters.com.

Here is what it said about certain motorcycle colors (listed in order of most dangerous to least).

Black - motorcycles denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
Silver motorcycles indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.
Green motorcycles can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.
Yellow motorcycles signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.
Blue motorcycles are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.
Gray motorcycles represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.
Red motorcycles denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive and who think, move and talk quickly.
Pink motorcycles are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.
White motorcycles represent status-seeking extrovert drivers.
Cream motorcycles are the least likely to be involved in accidents and denote self-contained and controlled owners.


Hmmmm, white="status-seeking..." sounds ideal colour for police bikes.

Any comments on the rest welcome

Hmmmmm - I have a yellow bike - I guess I am a bit idealistic and novelty-loving - but I've always wanted a blue bike!

Himself sprayed his bike black and would definitely be classed as a rebel!!

I've owned two black bikes, two red bikes, one blue bike and one silver bike. That list is strangely reflective of my somewhat morphic personality...

My bike is mainly black, with a grey belly pan....
maybe I should stop sending out these mixed messages, and spray all the rest black too?

my bike is white, bought because it was the best deal going at the time, colour wasn't even a factor (but I do like it), which kind of calls into question the validity of the findings above especially since every psychological test (for job interviews etc) I've ever done has found me to be a bit introverted. So I'm gonna call 'bullshit' on this one
So, if you own a white honda cub does that still make you an extroverted status-seeker?

Silver motorcycles indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.

I've only really had red and black bikes...

If you chooe red and black colour scheme apparently it has something to do with madness...
