I prefer white motorcycles and have several. I wish the RG was available in white.

Love that color, hides dust and dirt better than darker colors. Except bugs.

Black is classy, and I really like a deep maroon metallic. But white bikes have a class all their own.

Light scratches and swirls are not as noticeable either - mines Morocco gold but still looks white to most folk

This is SOOOOO TRUE. I know they're there but I can't see em so they don't matter. Dark colors (esp. black) you can see every imperfection. Big reason why my recent bikes have been white or partially white with another lighter color.

Wife's car is black - much more attention needed when being detailed - can do my bike in half the time

A nice brown leather seat work really well with a white bike, too.
