Eh, while I have color preferences. I wouldn't care if it was a used bike that ran well in my price range. If it was that pink cruiser, heck I'd take it better a color I dislike than no bike.

Hmm....not so sure about that. I understand riding what you like and not caring about the opinions of others, but that may be taking it a little too far.

color matters, I just want it to be something different. White on sports cars/bikes is one of my favorites.

I have a hell of a time deciding on color though... it took me forever to get around to painting my frame because I couldn't pick a color, so I eventually just went with what I was liking at the time (and anything goes with black) now I've got to do another, and I'm stressing out again... I think I'll go red though.

MY first bike was dark purple, my current is yellow. Neither is the color I wanted at the time, but I was really happy after I started riding them. So who cares?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I'm not talking about my soon to be bike, I was just talking in general.

Wasn't the Roadstar Warrior a dark purple with some demonic stripe patterns on it? It looked so evil with that scheme.

Color doesn't faze me anymore. Here in Naples I always see men walking around in Pink pants, shorts and t-shirts with sequins, and yes men here even wear Capri pants and carry purses. One of the trendy shirts for young sporting lads to wear these days has a slogan on it like Abercrombie and Fitch, except it says "Baci and Abbraci" (Kisses n' Hugs) Usually these shirts are pink or powder blue. Yellow and fluorescent orange jeans are big here too for some reason.

And yes they're Hetero.

I've been here a few years and I'm just now starting to get used to it... Motorcycle color!? Don't even notice. :ermm:
