My first road bike was green-always got me where I wanted to go. It was later that I found out what everyone else seemed to already know...The black ones are always faster!

You know, green is a very unlucky race car color and it just somehow traveled over to scooters because they are so fast-there is no reason to think it is supersticious to ride a green motorcycle that is why I chose red.
Lots of green cars have won championships too.

My opinion, the only time green is bad luck is when it's on bread and cheese.
