SV colors

[Roadstergal]

I normally just plain do not like blue on bikes.  It's just my own taste - I like red and yellow.  So I assumed I was going to really like the red SV650 and dislike the blue one.
But now that I've seen them in person - the red is a very blah red, and the blue - wowza, it is an awesome blue!  It's electric, metallic, a very lively blue without even a hint of pastel anywhere.

Now I'm going to have to footnote all of my posts about color preference.

Bleh!!!!!!  I *hate hate hate* the new SV blue! LoL! I talked to a salesman today, and he said he'd not talked to anyone yet who'd liked it (he asked if colour was why I was looking for the 2005). Maybe it's nicer in person???  

Unfortunately, his dealership only has a YELLOW 2005 SV left...    Nooooooooooooooooo....

i havn't seen the lighter blue in person but i loved the previous model years darker blue a lot.

Night and day.  I hated the pastel pale blue on the site.  I don't know where they got that color - they sure didn't get it from the actual bike.

Buy it!  You know you want it... :kiss:  :lol:

Yellow SVS with the black frame is a purty bike.

But that blue - gal, wait and check it out in person.  The standard has a nifty little bikini fairing this year.

I really liked the previous model's deep metallic blue color. When it was waxed right it looked amazing. Very deep, very shiny, VERY sparkly. This new turquoise one... I dunno. I like teal and it's derivatives, but on a motorcycle? I'm not quite sure. I'll wait to see one at the dealership to make up my mind.


Is the SV's new red a metallic red?

I think orange is a cool color, do they have orange? :mrgreen:

[JetSwing]

Purrty!  I want one!   :mrgreen:

[natedawg120]

yeah i really like that copper color.

A guy I rode with over the summer had an SV just like that; it was an SV650S till he wrecked it..haha. So now it is just an SV650, but it is still copper. Looked awesome, even without the front fairing.

It's only purple GS's I really like (though I've seen some pretty purple Harleys, too)!  :mrgreen:

Orange cars and bikes should be outlawed.

Why? What do you have against orange? What did it ever do to you?

Blinded me with its ugliness?  

:kiss:  :lol:

[natedawg120]

orange is ugly, copper is hot (but not on everything)

[pandy]

Actually, I probably wouldn't want the copper for myself, but it's not a bad colour at all!

Copper at its best:
