Default What paint colors?

So I wanted to change my 02 from silver/red to the 04+ black blue but now Im having seconds thoughts. I already have the fairing kit and a new fuel tank from Honda for the black/blue. What color combo do you guys think looks better?
here is a pic of my bike as it is now:


Here is a link to the blue and black fair kit I have ( i put on ebay cuz Im thinking of staying silver/red):
Honda CBR F4i 01-03 Fairing Kit with Brand New Honda Gas Tank Blue/Black | eBay

I like the blue/black.
With a full set of both, you can switch back and forth...

I like blue and black before I received the bike, but now I feel equal about both. I have a Yamaha also so my gloves and helmet are blue but who cares. I do want to pick one and stay with it cuz I want to stripe the wheels either red or blue depending on which one I go with

It's just tape...it can be changed easily enough. I would think twice about the tape anyway, plain black wheels would look fine on the blue scheme. Since you have a blue Yami, why do you want another blue bike?

i like the silver/red personally. but yeah if all you have is that rash on the left side you could sell those pretty quickly.

Thats not my bike, just a pic I found of the same paint. Mine is flawless. Only has 900 miles on it
I do also have a supercharged S2000 that is silver with red interior so.... Damn it I dont know what to do!!

here is the issue:
I like Blue/Black but I think silver/red looks more aggressive like a race bike should

It's your choice, dude. Don't know how we'd help you make a decision. Make it whatever color you like.

I was thinking the opposite. The blue/black looks mean, the red/silver looks nice and clean.
Your choice......I'd go yellow/black! lol
