Though they are all nice colors, Im a blue guy.

Of course some colors work on some models while some don't.

And as you can see from my bike (new white walls last month) white walls make some colors pop.

I like the blue too, but the skunk is way cool.
My GF said the Olive looked feminine. Really?

I saw a color scheme like or close to that a few years ago. Has never lost my interest. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention but will probably never find one. At least one that I can afford. Guess it was one of those SPECIAL color schemes...

Paint is easy enough! Just needs an additional injection of cash and you can have what you like.....

None of them are really a bad choice. I voted for blue, with the amber whiskey a close second. I don't know if I have ever seen an olive bike in person, so if you are looking for something unique go with that. Black and chrome is always nice and looks sharp, but everybody has one. After two black bikes, I wanted something different.

Picture of the green isn't the same as the rest, must not want anyone to vote for it, I like the Amber whiskey, but they are numerous, green is different, so

Green bikes are bad luck. Go with one of the other 3 choices unless you have a deathwish.
