Will be getting a new ninja 6 - orange or green?

[theturbs]

Very undecided as to what colour to go for - my intention is to go for the colour which is least popular (apart from black).

Every time I see a green bike, I think "that's it, I'll go for orange", to find that next time I see an orange bike and decide the opposite.

On the one hand I like the green as it's the official Kawasaki colour, on the other hand the orange is more original.

So what better course of action than to put it to the collective PH wisdom?

Thanks

Green is more common... and while they both look nice, green will always be trendy for kwaks... orange might be hard to sell in a few years time.

Green. Orange looks kinda gay.

Get it in green - I know it's a bit common, but it'll be easier to sell in a few years. A friend of mine just sold his low mileage, mint condition silver ZX7R for LESS than I got on a trade in for my battered 40k mile green one!

Black looks awesome, I like the orange too though. However, green would be easier to sell afterwards, but depends on how long you plan to keep it.

you will NEVER struggle to sell a BLACK bike of ANY make...no matter what the dealer tells you

trust me

I originaly ordered orange as it looked the mutts in the showroom but outside, it's a bit of an odd colour, I still like it but not as much as the green, the combination of green and black looks so cool and IMHO much better than previous kawa green bikes.

Black would be good too but it hides the lines that Kawasaki have styled the bike with, it's about the best looking bike there is right now, once you remove the obligitory tow bar that all bikes seem to have to come with these days.

Can you not get it in the blue they did in the earlier models? That would be my choice!

Thanks for the advice - green definitely has the edge, after reading this.

Kwaks are always green.. my first bike was the fantastic ZX6R-F3 in 1997, it could only be in that colour!

Green ones go faster

Agreed

[Alex@POD]

Having drooled over them at the dealer's recentely, orange and black look awesome, but green look so much better in my opinion... I was tempted to trade mine in!

[John Laverick]

Nobody like the blue then?

Nice, but not my cup of tea thanks mate.

I've already got the C6F model (the one above) in green. The new model is only available in green, orange or black, IIRC.

As per my earlier post I am not considering black. Checking this thread it seems as though for the PH massive green is the hue of choice.

would have loved an orange one tbh, but insurance at £2.5k opted for the cbr600F instead (picking up this fri
