I'm still debating in my head the black is classic and usually pleases everyone, the white is kind of unique, I'm pretty sure that I will be one of the few if not the only one with a white bike. If I was to choose the Ducati 848, the color for sure was going to be white. The blue one will match my gear, but that's not at the top of my priority list. The orange one will be cool for Hallloween since it looks like a pumpkin.
I am waiting on the dealer to give me the final quote since the bike was just released 2 days ago, I already dropped $8,500 on it and should be paid for by delivery time. It sucks it will be snowing in Germany when I receive it.
That gives me time to install an aftermarket exhaust, a fender eliminator kit to clean up the tail section and flush mount turn signals for a sleek look, maybe a smoked double bubble windscreen for a better look and more wind protection.

I would have to pwdercoat the wheels then. I kind of like the gold wheels with the black one, if I end up getting the black bike I will rock the gold wheels for a while and then paint them black to change the look.

I love the stealth look and the black bike goes well with everything, but from a safety stand point, the black is not the best choice, being stealth is not always a good thing. Statistics show that mayority of motorcycle accidents involving cars are due to drivers claiming that they never saw the bike. Thats why I want at least an aftermarket exhaust a little louder than stock, regardless of the bike color, if they can't see me at least they can hear me.

I know that most of the people voted for the black one, but another thing I noticed is that no matter what color you guys voted for, the comment that followed was that the white one looked good too, so I think that regardless the primary favorite, the white one was also a favorite. I have made my mind and I am going to order the white one. Thank you guys for your opinions. I'll post some pictures as soon as I pick it up and as soon as it stops snowing in Germany for the next riding season, I hope to have a few mods on it by then.

since you already have e90 black, i suggest to buy R6 raven. just to match your WHIPS...

black car and a white bike works too...

i got e90 TiAg and R6 lquid silver....both of them have carbon fiber accents (including AC-12 carbon fiber helmet). i love the 2009 R6 body style thay youll be getting. congrats bro...

which part in germany are you from?

WOW!
Your car and bike look sick toguether. You have a good combo going, they match on the colors and both are tastefuly done. I loved the 2008 liquid silver version that came out, but since I'm getting a new one, why not going for the '09 right. I think I am pretty set on getting the whte one, and I will be proud that the colors with my riding gear will be red, white and blue. I am still thinking that the black one will match my car, but those gold rims and gold trim are not really doing it for me.
I am stationed in Katterbach. Still in Iraq for a few more weeks, almost out of here after 15 months. Can't wait to get back to my car and I know that the 3 month wait for the bike is going to be long but worth every minute of it.

Blue: Fits perfectly (fashion-wise) with your outfit...BUT it may be too matchy-matchy and a bit too much blue...I think you'll be able to pull it off and you will def be catching ppl's attention on the streets!

Orange: Not really my personal fav...LOVE the lightning bolt design but I think it may be a bit clashy with the blue/white outfit!

White: In today's fashion, ppl are saying that White is the new Black (although black is classic, white is becoming the "it" thing in both fashion wear and cars)...I love it! If you get this one, you will def not have to change the colors or anything...blue, white, and red in the mix is a very good combo...however, you must consider that it's a very patriotic combo...

Nevertheless, your wife may be right... she knows you best (listening to the wifey is always a good thing)!

As far as my fashion advice... I would choose the BLUE!!!
Hope that helps!!!

I actualy like what you said about the white one, is different and along with my gear, it will look very nice and patriotic. Thanks for the advise. In the other hand my wife is also a fan of Sex and the City, and shoes, she also helps me pick the mods for my car and bike.
