Licensed the ol 750 GS yesterday and, between the storms, went for a ride. COLD, COLD, COLD!! Lord give me spring!.
Anyhoo, I dropped in to the dealer to see my future Tiger and saw the Black model. Now I'm torn between the Blue and the Black. They have both. Apparently the Black shows dirt more easily but I still like the look. What's the general concensus out there? I am more partial to the Blue tho I would have preferred it a shade darker.

dangerous question to ask around here, tis likely to cause bloodshed and tears.
Buy the colour YOU like and to hell with everyone else.
PS Orange is best but we'll keep that quiet :razz:

Wise words.........except DJR spoilt it with the last statement :razz:
seriously...go with what YOU think looks best because everyone (including me!) will have an opinion on what is best.
But i will not add fuel to the fire by stating which silver colour is best :razz:

Prob' best not to argue with Big Stripey - mainley 'cos he's right.. Of the 2 options I'd go for the black, but then again it does look like the silver ones (photo) negative. Anyway who really cares about the colour - real men don't give two hoots, just get on with riding it cos you can't really see it from the saddle. Enjoy! :-D

Personally, I'd go for the blue one since they quit making the best color Roulette Green.

I had a choice between blue, black, silver and a used 2003 orange. Saw them all next to each other and couldn't resist the blue one.
Black was a close second, but the blue really does stand out and look sharp.
