I have the yellow bike and MN...A is right! (I had an intersection event). First order of safety is you, never forget. However the bright color and a bright helmet helps, and of every color available yellow is most readily visible. (Grey/Silver is the least). If you prefer the less bright bikes, choose a bright schemed helmet, (Like Rossi's) and clothing. You'll get what U really want anyway.......won't ya?

Think upgrades & mods. What are the items you want to change? What colors do they come in and how will that look on each bike?

For instance, if you like red LEDs, I don't think they'd do as well on the blue as they do on the black. but if you like the Carbon Fiber TB exhaust, then the black one it is.

Of course, everything goes with white.

You can always paint over the pink.

well i went to the dealer today, and he said the yellow was he best option becuase of visability. and you can peel the big black stars off(thats what turned me away from it). or black. and i agree but no Ravens in store and they are on sale in stock only so i think it wil be yellow. are there any alternative after market Graffix

I would've taken the white one in a heartbeat, and still would, if they didn't put the tank decals under the clear coat. I settled for a blue one though

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.

Couldn't have said it any better. Color is only good for people paying attention! Every time I get on to ride I watch all intersections, driveways, and my mirrors. Only one watching out for you is yourself.
