Black, Blue, Silver, White, Grey, Red, or Sand?

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

I have a black, and there is a blue on at the local dealer. They are both gorgeous. If I had to wait three weeks on either one, I'd take the one I could have now. I can't imagine you will be disappointed in either one. Besides, if it turns out you are, paint is fairly cheap. But you wont' be disappointed in either one. R

The bike is what matters, not the color.

I chose Black because I thought the blue and silver with black wheels looked a little weak and confused. Not that it looks bad, just not as good. After 37 years working in Automotive Design, I just couldn't get my brain around the Blue bike.

Get what YOU like, but definitely get one., and avoid the wait. You'll like the bike, most who have them do. In light of the limited availability of the bike, I'd take the one that came up first.

Like Rem says, there's always paint to fix it later. I HAD to get Blue, I would definitely change it...maybe Ducati red. ::012::

OK, I was trying to be nice here. Don't make me have to come down there. Please disregard Rod's highly biased and totally inaccurate comment. By the way, speaking of coming down there, I may be off to B. C. today instead of tomorrow. It has been raining for 12 years here, and today is nice. I have a 10 am appointment, so we may take off noonish today instead of tomorrow.


I knew you'd want to know that. So if you never hear from me again for a week, well, lucky you. OK bye for now. Let's ride safely. R

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

Hard as I try, I just cannot seem to get these two gents educated on which color is really exciting and more desirable and which color is basically - BORING. They have also failed to mention that they are color-blind and cannot tell one from the other without checking the paint code number.

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

One thing that may help.. is being able to see some pictures of the black Tenere' with the bags on. All the pictures from YMUS shows the blue Tenere' with bags, action shots with bags.. but the black version is only without bags.

Do any of you guys that have the black bike have any pictures you could share? Preferably with the bags on but either is appreciated..

Thanks!

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

I just have to say if you like a clean bike and love to wash it often or all the time to keep it looking black, then get the black or Raven. Black is the hardest color to keep looking cleaned IMHO and that's a fact. Personally I went with Blue but would have taken any color other than Blue or black especially White or Orange or Yellow or even Red. Too bad I live in the USA market ....
Best,
DT

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

Will the white one be available in north america next year?

Not likely as 2012 units, my guess, but perhaps we will see some different color offerings in the following model year. I'm guessing we will see silver here before we ever see white. Just my .02

You can't beat "quick silver" - I think I'll start calling mine mercury.

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

Was at a dealer in Toronto last week and the salesman said that silver would be a colour in the new model year. Since it is now Yamaha North America there is a good chance that silver will be available in the USA as well. As I have a First Edition Silver with black wheels (a real rarity) all I can say is that my 15 minutes of colour fame may be coming to an end.. But.......who knows till we see it happen.

Here is a black one with bags on display at my dealer, Niehaus Cycles in Litchfield, IL.

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White

I have always found black to be aesthetically pleasing to my own discerning eye, notwithstanding the pleasant emotional and psychological sensations that others have experienced upon making visual contact with various other chromatic aberrations. I think that spiritual fulfillment can be achieved through a variety of spectral offerings, depending upon your perception and subsequent interpretation of said colors, or combinations thereof.


I am tolerant of almost all motorcycle colors ..... from the mundane to the outrageous. In an attempt to express this acceptance to all those who may come riding, I have chosen to project my acknowledgement of the worth of all colors by choosing a bike that is void of them all ..... for only the humble black bike can both project a humble, understated beauty while exuding acceptance to all those others who may require the sanctioning of their existence through the projection of various pigmentations.


Yes, you're quite right. I'll just go away quietly now. Let's be safe and courteous out there. ::002:: R
