So how much of a pain in the *** is it to keep a black bike looking good?

 

I loved having black other than when it sits in the sun for a few hours and you hop on it burns your *** and your crotch, no matter what your wearing, the gas tank gets brutal hot.......which kinda sucks but i loved the black i would do it again , just gotta try park in the shade.

bad quality picture but heres mine:



edit: i washed mine twice a week, once on weds, and once on saturday (or friday night if i was going out), as for waxing it i did that about every 6-8 weeks....but man they look good in the sun once their freshly waxed

edit edit: also a something i noticed with a black bike was that once youve filled it with gas you must leave more room in the tank for expansion that on a red bike, as my tank would leak a fair bit after filling, can't really fill it right up.

 

black > you

here's an older pic of my bike:

 

gets to scratched up...just touch her up and dont have to worry about anything

 

id say go for it.

one of the best black bikes ive seen:

 

IMO, you can't see the sexy *** lines on a black bike. When I see a black bike go by, I can't what it is unless I recognize it by its exhaust or headlight. I think its cool but I like being able to see the lines of my ride and my cars.

 

black bikes also "blend in" very well. for example a cop would not be able to tell one black bike from another....

 

I ******* love black bikes. My new bike is black

 

Love my black bike, clean and simple.

I'd rather have colors/graphics to exenuate the lines.

 

my bike will be going black someday.

same here

 

dn side to having a black bike is everything gets hot in the sun....real hot, like cook a hot dog on the gas tank hot. But as far as seeing body lines, i can tell what make a bike is as long as its daylight. when darkness falls it gets a little hard to tell but the headlight is always a dead give away. i still prefer a black bike to any other color.

 

Personally I'm a person that likes black but with alittle color...

All black just looks....s0o0o0 plain to me

 

black bikes = sexy... now i know i've posted before, and everyone hated on it, but i love it.. not a huge fan of chrome, but goddamn... zx-10, black and blingin



and then, kinda black, and still hot



my next bike = black

 

I love black... Just got my 900rr painted metalic black

 

im planning on painting my zx6 black in the summer, but im almost tempted to rattle can it for now, because i love black bikes.

 

heres a couple more pics..



ALSO FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!! $3200 OBO

 

I voted yes on black bikes, but I would like to be seen so my bike is staying red.

 

I think theyre ******* hot. Do it. C'mon.....do it.

 

my bike now ...getting revalved forks and penske rear shock within two weeks. my sato rearsets will also be put on.

Looks almost like a 'fro.

 

no mirrors or signals?? doesn't that make you feel a bit invisible?

 

does silver and black count?

i hate mirrors. i look in them and see my arms; most useless design ever. plus its distracting from looking ahead. my possibly useless 2 cents though. signals? i wish cagers would see the whole bike let alone a tiny signal.
