Actually a white bike is easier to keep clean than black bike, or worse all chrome.For me it has to have a balance.Paint,polished aluminum,chrome.To each his/her own.

I have seen other colors (red, green, blue, yellow) done. The engine, frame, wheels and even lower forks all done to match the tins. Looks sharp and unique. Especially with pin striping, chrome or other accents to break it up.
