What color looks better?

I need your input! So I purchased a new one and have to pick a color. I can't decide between the silver or red.

I would say Red, but that is because I LOVE red, but Red is much more visable, and you know what they say about RED=more tickets

Red also means other people can better see you. I think the grey or silver is nice looking but the Boi brings up a good point. VISIBILITY....ever notice how on a grey day a grey car can kind of get lost. Loud pipes save lives, I imagine bright colors can too.

Be safe out there no matter what you pick

The cowlings and trim are black on both, so the difference is kind of negligible... The clothes a rider is wearing and the color of the helmet are more visible imo.

silver.

I don't like how the red of a brake light blends in with the red paint on most bikes. It's not safe.
