black always looks good but its one of the hardest colors to shoot and have it look really good but i would also have something to break up all the black but thats just me and black is always a good looking color

i saw a black bike tonight with this midnight-maroon candy over it. You couldn't even see the red until you were close enough to have sex with it. Then, when when i was close enough to see the twinkle, i wanted to have sex with it.

black is nice... BUT since I got a bike... every cruise or gathering I went to had 7/10 black bikes or charcoal gray. Bright colors stand out much better.

As BadAzF4i already said, black is the hardest color to shoot......you'll spend a lot of time keeping it clean, and the swirl marks will eventually get to you. Not to mention it's harder for you to stand out so cagers don't hit you.

I like the look of a black bike, but I wouldn't buy one. I bought red, because it really like the way it stands out.

I would personally go with a bright color (red, yellow, etc). White with a hint of silver pearl looks great on these bikes. I would say go to a dealer, find the bike that attracts you the most, and paint it the same color.

Go all RED, like a ducati. Put some yellow accents to it. Chicks will dig it.

Black is nice but again hard to make it look good. My buddy has a 2005 ZX-10 and he does custom paint and his is Cadillac escallade pearl white with a lot of flake in it and it is the nicest color I have seen. And another guy has a black bike with blue flake in it and when you get that thing in the sun it shines and sparkles and it looks awesome with all his chrome. I personally like something to break up all the color and I do custom airbrushing/painting so I like to have different designs on my bike.

whatevery you do will look cooler than the stock f4i but one thing that i recomment is do not paint the tail and the undertail white. I have that and after every ride my tail looks grey and has crap load of grime on it.
