People, people! We need to stop all this Blue on Black crime.

I think both colors look good. I just happen to like the color Blue

That black S10 would look real nice with Givi Bags for us blacktop landcruisers.

Yes, according to a report published by the National Motorcycle Testing Association (NMTA) in January 2005, a test of 200 motorcycles including sportbikes, cruisers and off-road bikes shows that black motorcycles are on average 12.3% faster than bikes of other colors.

It's kind of like with fire, the Blue Flame is the hottest, and the Black........well that's what's left over after the fire is snuffed out. )

Or a lump of charcoal ???

 

[toompine]

In all seriousness, my Multistrada is black and it has been plenty fast for me. It is also stealthy fast. Those Highway Patrol guys want to pull over those fast looking RED Ducatis but don't seem to notice me in my business like black.

That said my Super Tenere will be my first ever BLUE bike mostly because it is a really nice blue and well... it just seems right to me

My wife likes the blue. She thinks it suits my eyes :-* Ohhhh :-*

..and then she thinks the blue it is more visible...

"Stealthy fast", hmmm, is "stealthy" good when it come to motorbikes?

All that said I LOVE the look of the BLACK S10

I really like BOTH colors, but since my FJR is Raven Black, I decided to go with the Impact Blue. Now, had WHITE been availbale here in the US, I would have gone for it!!!

I am a fan of all the colors other than Silver, but I love the looks of the White model. Since my choice is Black or Blue, I had to go with the stealth/fast color - BLACK for me also!

Do I have to say which color that I liked?

 

[switchback]

The black option does look nice but I guess I like the colors too much. My Ducati is red (all Ducatis should be red). Silver nope, white not a chance. IMO the Tenere should have 3 color options: Red/White, Blue, Yellow/Black. This left me with only one choice, Impact Blue.

You don't have to..... It's obvious you picked the best color!

Agree, I'd like to see it in Cadmium Yellow. I'll take black though, maybe later put on some yellow striping from Wasp.

It would be just my luck that next year Yamaha will stock 2013's on the showroom floor with a beautiful new color scheme to force me to spend $$$$ trading on the new model.
