Motorcyclists - How big a factor is color to you?

That is my dilemma right now.

Very tough call. If it was a really great deal, I'd go for it as long as I didn't hate the color.

I love the Kawi green and I'm looking at 05-06 ZX6R's (636s). I missed one locally for 5k however I found one in South Carolina about 6 hours away at that price. But there is a Limited Edition Silver/Red one for sale for about 4400. Both bikes are stock. The green has 10k miles and silver has 16k.

Decisions, decisions.

I have a silver helmet, so all of my bikes MUST be silver to match /sarcasm
If it is a good deal, I say buy it.

My current steed is dark gray. My next bike will be Rossa Ducati.

It's not a big deal at all. You can buy the bike for a sweet deal and sell all the plastics on ebay while shopping/buying the color you want. When i converted my R6 to a track bike I sold the stock plastics for $1200, which was about what every other color was going for on ebay.

Honestly, not a big one. When I found my current ZX10R, I thought to myself, "Self.. you could never ride a green bike, that color is retardedly ugly".

Then I rode the bike. All of the sudden color meant a hell of a lot less. Now I love the mean green Kawi.

Moral of the story, don't judge a bike off color. Ride it first, then decide. Us humans are pretty fickle creatures.

I hate that color. I'd never buy a bike that was Kawasaki green.

A friend of mine rides a ZX10R and he had his painted a metallic orange color. I understand it is a Kawasaki color but you don't see many bikes with that color paint. It looks sick. :thumbsup:

I would go for the great deal. You could always get a nice paint jobl later on anyways.
