well i'm selling my truck on friday to get the FZ6R so now the question is what color. i'm leaning towards black or blue. so let me hear it. just fyi the 100$ diff. doesn't matter to me.

Yellow all the way!

Visibility is the biggest issue for motorcyclists. It will be hard for teenie-bopper-on-a-cell-phone to claim she didn't see me when my bike is bright yellow (along with all my gear). It has held up in court before and it will most always put the cager at fault.

i've thought of that and thats why i'm thinking blue over black. cuz i'm gonna want "matching" gear and black on black just seems like i'm asking for it. i just havent been drawn to the yellow one yet. haha

i know its soon for dirt bikes, and cars, but as for bikes idk. if you ask a dealer they will give you the run around, they just want the sale asap. ps stick with the black, cause every other color goes with black

While I agree that yellow is more visible, please don't think that it will help stupid drivers see you. I've had several cars change lanes into me while driving my truck. And it is a full-size SUV. AND I wasn't even in the blind spot. I've also seen a guy completely blow through a red light while texting on his phone. The light was red for a long time meaning he didn't look up to see what's in front of him for a good 10 seconds. People who are not looking at the road will not see ANYTHING unfortunately, even if it's shiny and covered in strobe lights.
