Black! There should be a poll with this thread!

As much as I like how black looks, blue still looks great.

What other colors would you like to see it come in?

 

[Ginger]

The blue costs more as well, Zook has been doing this for years on the big gixxers...

 

[Dawg]

I like the blue better, but I am disappointed it costs more. I would also like to see a red version. White should also be an option.

Cost for going blue shouldn't be an issue as it isn't much to pay out and people who really want it... will pay, it won't stop them.

 

[Ellul]

poll added, cost difference is $100-200 shouldn't be a deterrent...

 

[Dawg]

I just don't care enough about the blue and white to pay the extra money, not that its that much. I'd just rather stick with black and buy myself something else with the $200.

its $150...

Okay $150, not $200. It doesn't seem like much because the bike is already expensive, but I just refuse to spend that much on a different color. I'd rather take that $200 and do something else with it. Go to a few concerts or something. That will make me happier than having blue instead of black.

 

[Ginger]

well no $150 just isn't that much money period. If you like black then stay with black, but why skimp on paint if its going to make you unhappy over the ownership of the bike, especially if its for transient enjoymeny? I know I would walk out to my bike everyday and say to myself demm black is boring!

I just don't think that the color would make me unhappy. Its just a color. $150 isn't a huge amount of money, but you can do something with that. I think there are many other things I could do with that money that would make me happier than having a blue motorcycle. Go out for a nice dinner, or put it towards my VISA bill. If I hated the black version then maybe I would have a different opinion but I think the black is perfectly fine.

 

[999]

If black works for you, great, if not it's additional cost is definitely not something to be thinking about.

 

[Dawg]

Do you think that they make it more expensive because they figure there will be greater demand, or do you think that it is because there is actually a greater cost for Suzuki to produce those bikes?

I'm not sure what the reason is for this.
I'd like to say it's to do with the painting process but i'm completely unaware of what painting bike parts is like.
