Title: Black or Green ??
Post by: Gas Man on March 31, 2011, 04:50:28 PM
As we all know thats the choice for this year ::)
Ive seen the green in the flesh as my dealer has that himself ( even though he tells me he wishes he'd gone black ) but I just cant make my mind up ??? Kind of leaning towards the black ATM but wish they would do a better choice  ::)

I think the black!

May be more sellable later!

Chances are that the base colours, black, blue are likely to be around year on year (or every other year)

Year colours like the green or last years metallic mud will date more easily as the colours change.  May effect resale.

Hi

I have seen the "Green un" in the showroom and it does look good and a better colour than I was expecting, I would prefer to have seen it daylight. In terms of choice between black or midnight blue (just before FH beats me up again) I would be inclined to go for the Green - but hey I have got the muddy brown one - sorry Magnesium Grey.

I've got a black one and in all honesty, its pretty easy to clean. I'd buy another black one without hesitation, but then I do like the magnesium one and the green one too.  ::)

I think the black one looks good inside or out, the green looks stunning in the daylight, OK inside with artificial light.

I'm biased of course, mine's green.

Wasn't too keen on the green in the showroom. But having seen it outdoors in the sunlight I would have it instantly over any other colour.

Black and silver are getting too boring

Green wouldn't normally be my choice of colour for a bike but in daylight on the GTR looks great and looked better than the black and grays the dealer had in the showroom next to it.

Every person who has seen my bike have commented on how well the colour suits the bike
