I'm a huge fan of black for many reasons…
1) When you crash (which will happen at some point) all you need it a can of spray paint to fix the scratches.
2) Black doesn't reveal dirt as easily, simply wipe it down with a towel and you'll be good to go
3) Black is easier to paint as well because unlike brighter colors, it doesn't show imperfections as easily.
4) Solid colors in general are far easier to manage in the long run.
This is my race bike after two low-sides and just a tap from the spray can. It needed a few more taps, lol
This is my 3rd race bike new from initial build. I got shit fairings by accident, so they didn't fit quite right. But the color is amazing, the guy did a good job. Match leathers to it and the damn thing has a great look. I would do this same job again in a heartbeat, however I'd have the painter do backup set so when I crashed, I could just swap fairing components.
