My '07 CBR 600RR is my first sportbike. Traded in my cruiser for it. I was originally going for white, but there are fewer of them in my area and my deealer gave me a discount to take black, which he was overstocked with. I am glad I went with black. Nothing make you feel like you have a fourteen inch **** like a black sportbike. When I wrecked my first 600RR, I requested the replacement be black. I am now back on my black '07 CBR 600RR and riding proud.
