If your bike could be ANY color (yes, even purple) or any 2 colors (regardless of offerings) what would you have it be?

I for one would LOVE a white bike. I know what white wheels look like though after a commute (shudder) I would hate to think how dirty a white bike would get, BUT I would still like one.

Sigh. Who does the marketing for these damn companies?

Yellow with black

My '89 is just the way I like it. White w/white wheels. The factory blue graphics on the plastic side panels break up the "mass" of those big "modesty" pieces. I've run w/o those side panels and tail pieces and hardware, and though I think it makes the bike look "lighter", all those exposed pits and pieces make it look too much like a "rat bike". Now I've seen some rat bikes that I've really liked, but simply taking the side and tails pieces off a GS500 do not make it a rat bike.  As this bike has aged, I've grown even fonder of its appearance.

For me, it depends on the bike. I'll assume we're talking about the GS only here. I'd love to have a non-metallic gloss black with only the "Suzuki" text on the tank. The "Perl Novelty Black" that my bike is right now has too much metallic and blue in my opinion. I put on a coat of wax the other day on the GS, but before buffing it off, I kinda liked the way it looked with the flat black finish. I like the gunmetal finish on the wheels so I'd keep that, but I'd also add the little red stripe on the wheel like the one that can be found on the R1 wheels.

I actually want to put that red pinstripe on the wheel sometime soon so I'll probably be posting something asking for help on this.

Not sure how it would look on an 05 buy my wife wants it painted red, black and silver. . I know that color is out but she wan'ts it painted more red than black  :dunno:

+1 to Yellow.  Also, I thought the '05 F4i in silver was really sharp.

As for white:  I used to have a white car and when it was clean it looked very clean, but when it got dirty it looked extremely dirty.  The problem was that it got dirty about 10 minutes after I washed it.    I later got a black car...similar problems, but it seemed to stay cleaner looking longer (plus it looked much better after it was waxed).  My grey car just looked dirty all the time.  Now I've got a dark blue one, which doesn't seem to suffer from the black/white problems.  As a result, I probably don't wash it as much as I should.

A few years ago, the BMW M3 came in one of the finest colors I've ever seen on a car.  Looking at it, it appeared black, but actually it was very, very dark purple...when the light hit it just right it looked fantastic.  Definitely a double-take-mobile.  Not sure it would look good on a m/c though.

The same as an 04'F, but do away with the white tail, make it blue... kinda like the 05's... but minus the white ass front... looks like crap...  - I'm picky...

solid blue OR solid white.  Polished wheels is a must

I like maroon/red on Hondas.  Medium blue on most everything else.  Yellow looks good too, depending on the body style.

.
Black on black.  Keep all the currently black stuff shiny black and paint the rest a nice matte black (frame, wheels, etc).

My #1 is the 91 blue with silver and taces of red.
#2 is 89 white.
#3 is black - but for practicality and body bit swap etc ... that black is the best ...
Cool.

if they had a vinal kit for the 04+ I'd be down at the stealer today.

Love my Black

A tastefull use of both matte and gloss black similar to a Ducati monster dark.

That would be sweet.

Orange and black.  Black front fender and orange wheels.  Orange tank and plastics.

Black tank stickers.  Silver engine and frame.  Silver grab handle.   Black headlight bucket.  Orange guages.  

If there is this set up, it would be dope.

We all know my answer!  

My future bike will likely be blue/white, though.

Nice...like on the new K1200S: http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/k1200s/gallery/im11.jpg

Black with red wheels

but since I have a blue bike, I just put orange wheels on it.
