What colour to get?

I got bored of my car and sold it to buy a bike however can only drive a 125cc until i passed my Bike test, which i think's crazy seeing as i have my drivers license. Anyways just looking to buy a bike and best you can buy for 125 is the Aprilia RS, though i'm not sure what colour i like cause none of them are "amazing" lol.



So lets do a poll...

Black: http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/ATD_web/servlet/media?id=528694171



White: http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/ATD_web/servlet/media?id=564053834

    Not sure how things are in the UK, but in the US I'd suggest a bright colour. People driving cars/trucks here don't often see a bike, which is often times lethal to the biker.

    I drive a bright yellow car, and have actually noticed that less people pull out in front of me, or change lanes into me, than before. Though some think it is a flag for traffic tickets, I haven't been pulled over yet, I think the police don't feel the car is showy, but more that it is a safety thing.

    Black is boring. It's just... black all over. White is pretty cool, but it looks kind of lame in some way. The red one says speed and is the coolest of them all. I prefer the red one.

    Yeh for me it's between the Red and the White and the colours r sooo underwhelming it's very hard to choose :( I'm thinking the Red one but i dunno lol it is more expensive than the other 2 even though they are the same but the colour and i hate all the advertising on it.

    Generally people are good here altho the roads are much much smaller so it should be more dangerous, however people are better drivers over here. I'm not saying there arn't good drivers in America but here we can't drive till 17 and you wont really pass until near 18. Also 95% of us drive gear cars which make us much more aware i feel, impression i got in America is it's far too easy over there.

    That said i personally havn't had a single person pull out on me or not see me, but it only takes one time. Alot of my mates complain about car users but thats because they have never driven a car so i tend to give cars more room.

    I'd wait.  Take the test and get something a little bigger.

    If I had no choice I'd go witht he red.

    Wish Darkfall would release.

    I would definitely take the white or black one. Not fond of that shade of red.

    Well im buying this then doing my test later on this year, i got no money issues and aprilia RS don't lose that much money anyways.

    red for sure.

    I have a couple of friends that ride bikes and the thigns i hear the most about bikes (i'm planning on geting my m1 after my G) is:

    get a brightly coloured bike, and start slow.

    And the red looks nice, plus i personally think red is associated with racing so its a nice match.

    White is pretty nice, it looks the best to me.

    What makes all the colors look funny is the patch of blue on the spokes, it doesn't go with any of the color schemes, if they were red or black spokes I think that would help.

    Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit

    The red one has more "wow" appeal, but I really don't like those tires.

    I would prefer one of these bikes though, oh well next year :)

    That poopy mud-flap or splash-guard thing hanging off the back of the bike looks really odd to me.  I would rather have a tire cover that fit snug.  Otherwise, it is a good looking sports bike.  I voted for black.

    You can take most of that off i think one is to hold a L plate and the other number plate.

    I just sat thinking "God, how awful the black one looks!". So boring. Just black everywhere, it would look so much better if they added some other colors except black. The "wall of black" just makes it look so boring, still it's cool if you don't think about the color. Prefer the other one though.
