Orignally was going for green ZX636R, but changed my mind yesterday & put a substancial deposit down on an R6. Ordered it in competition white, but now edging slightly towards the black.

What do you lot reckon ?





Have to decide real soon as bike is reckoned to be getting delivered to dealer early January (although I've told them I don't want it until March).

White stands out and looks unusual, but black wins for me, it's more stealthy and meaner!

I want one of those. Buy it in White/Red - looks stunning.

Can I ask how much you paid?

Haven't got final price as they haven't released it as yet. Was told it should be around £7200.

Of the 2 I prefer the black, but I don't like the wheels.

he red/white one looks ace apart from that seat covering. It just makes me think of dodgy 70's lsd induced styling so it'll have to be the (otherwise close second) black.

Until it comes to washing it at least!

Black

I really like the matt black 749, black sports bikes look mean.

personally id go for the red and white. but for you, the black won't show muck and dirt as easily, so it it just going to be a summer bike or will it be used in winter as well? If so, go for black, but then get all black leathers, black helmet and blacked out visor....or go Matrix style

See if they can fix you up with the black bike with the wheels from the red one?

Sticking with Red & White. Definately.

Looks better with the white cowl covering the pillion seat.

Good man - blacks too boring for a bike like this.

I want one too now. That or the Triumph 675 I think....
