    Best colour RED?SILVER?BLUE? BLACK?

    i'm about to put a deposit down on a new TA and i have a choice of red, black, and the blue. Unfortunately my prefered choice the silver, is sold out of stock. the blue one for some reason has a silver side panel and silver mud guard not too keen on the combination............ so with your help its between the red and black.

    well judging by the turnout at the national,blue is definitely most popular and therefore has been thoroughly tested for speed(me) and resilience(mudwiz),you are quite welcome to take advice from members of the blue squadron or the other colors, each to there own.As for the silver side panels,they do help the bike look less bulky as the black ones do,not so much a big mass of colour.
    wouldn't go for the red if you have ginger hair though,bit of a clash!

    Vulcans??? red hair no, pointy ears, yes. And an absolute understanding of logic, so saying black is faster will cut no ice. What Mr Vulcan is asking is on an emotive level which colour bike is best - coz he is incapable of judging.
