Default which color

Looking at an 06 vivid black or fire red pearl flht.
My first choice has always been vivid black. However every one and his brother has vivid black. So now i'm kinda not too sure of VB. I may have a shot at a really good deal on the red pearl. However this color doesn't really catch my eye like say the black cherry does. Red pearl seems to have a little too much rust/orange in it. Not bad looking but lacks that "oh man" look at that!!

I'm not sure what to do!! Black bikes always look cool, but they are all over the place. flip side is you don't want to get a color just to be different only to be looking at some other guys bike wishing it was yours. Still fire red pearl could look really good in my drive way if it got there for a really nice price!! Guess i'll have to call tomorrow and see what a nice price is.


What do you prefer.... the me too black or.... Nice price!! Apart from the crowd, fire red pearl.

Don't let a little diference in money make you settle for
something other than what you realy want/like. And it
sounds like you realy want vivid black.

Not that I'm biased toward the Fire Red Pearl......Don't let what you see on the show room determine what you get. This color looks great in better light. Heck, have them push it outside.

I too could not decide between the vivid black and the Fire Red Pearl. I ultimately chose the Red Pearl and am very happy with it. you got to follow your heart.
