Default Breakout color torn...

So the time is getting near to purchasing my Breakout and I find myself at a split road trying to make a decision on the color.
At first it was Black...no question about it, BLACK and I was set.
Then after a few weeks of parts searching, forum diving and getting to see what countless options there are for looks and Im questioning myself.

24v...your red on black scheme is one sexy b!tch and i cant seem to take my eyes off of it. Noticing that it is a 2013 "EMBER" red sunglo and the newer 2015 model is a "Mysterious" red sunglo, ive been trying to find out just how much of a difference there is between the 2.

Just by eyeing a computer screen it looks like the "mysterious" is a touch on the darker crimson/blood red side. where the "Ember" is a hotter and brighter Red. some photos are in doors, some out doors and its just hard to nail down

(By photos) I prefer the 2013 "Ember" over the 2015 "mysterious" as it sits. Does anyone have feed back from seeing both side by side? or have a photo side by side they can provide?

thanks in advance.

I have not seen the new red in person, but if I do I will try to get my bike near it for a picture. I don't like the new red in pictures, but sometimes things just look better IRL.

Be sure to look at the 2015 red Breakout in the direct sun...it has a pink tint to it. Unfortunately it's nothing like the 2013 red.
I went with black because there was no extra charge for paint on the MSRP and I plan to custom paint it one day. There are two combos that I love and that's black/chrome or red/black. I already did the red/black theme on my mustang so the Breakout was an easy choice for me.

The 2015 red is really nice but the 2013 is nice as well...........like someone said, go look at a 2015 in person and see what you think. I personally loved the 2015 on the showroom floor but would be curious what it looks like in direct sunlight since someone mentioned it appears to have a pink tint.

I think a lot of it has to do with what your plan is for the bike. IMHO, 24's looks so so nice because of the blacked out parts - especially the wheels.
