    Personally I did not care for any of the 2013/14 choices...I had mine painted at the dealer before delivery a Brandywine Kandy Red Clearcoat...The new 2015 grey is okay from the pictures I have seen but I have not seen one in person...Love the color on my 2013 F6B and am even happier that I got my wife to buy into a new bike if she chose the color!!!

    Opas, I experienced the same thing with my wife. Showed her a red F6 at our local dealer, she did not like it. Few days later, visited a Victory dealer a few towns over and they had a black F6 and I asked her what she thought....lo-and-behold she liked it! She wasn't aware it was the same bike she saw a few days earlier. :-) Went back to local dealer and had them locate a black one for me.

    Cool

    My problem with grey,silver and colors that look like the road is the vehicle disappears into the roadway....ever not see a vehicle until the last second because it blended into the road????

    Not a good color for any motor vehicle !!!!!

    I agree, Steve. This is the main reason why I decided on the blue.....and, because it's purdy.

    This is one of the BIGGEST reasons I didn't pull the trigger on a 2013 model and waited to see what Mother Honda would do with colors for 2014.
    I'm really glad I waited 'cause I got the Fast-as-all-git-out Pearl Yellow.

    I saw one at the PMI show in Dallas last weekend. Not my cup of tea but I have to say it did not show any finger prints from all those attendees foundling it. Last year, the brand new black one on diplay looked like it had 100,000 hard miles on it and it was brand new with no miles. Smears and scratches were terrible on the black, not so on the gray. I don't particularly care for the primer colored mototcycles but this one was holding up well

    Yes, and if you live in Detroit, it doesn't matter what color bike you ride.
    You need additional help for those who don't know what a motorcycle is!

    While your Brandywine Kandy Red Clearcoat looks amazing, how can you NOT like Black?

    I do like the Matte grey/silver on the "15" but the blue has really grown on me if I were in the market.
    2013 F6B in black of course
