Default Painting my bike

So I'm painting my bike, and I still cant decide what color to make it. I was thinking i could throw out my options and see if anyone has any pictures and or advise to help make this difficult decision easier haha.

I'd say my first choise right now is white if i can get a nice bright white. I was toying with the idea of pearlesent white, but i don't think that would look as good.

My second choise is going to be either Bright red or yellow. I was thinking that red and yellow may be more visible to other drivers. I'm told that white is a "neutral" color.

What do you guys think?

Yes, I am in the same boat. A CBR should be painted red like mine.
