silver or black frame? - SV650.org

15-11-06, 05:03 PM

right i'm on the hunt for a new bike but no offence to anyone but i love the silver frame on the pointy and not so much the black

so that means i have to buy a k3 or k4, then its colour? i love the blue and silver

the silver frame goes with the silver bike so nicely

what you lot of sv nutt's think?

I like contrasts- black with light plastics (black and silver is gorgeous, I reckon, and black and yellow) and silver frame with dark plastics.

Depends on the rest of the colour

As said the "unpainted" look of the Silver with Silver is nice

But I like my "solid" k6 Red and Black scheme

You just want the same thing back again

So what did you spend £36 on? - not getting it?

I'm with you on silver frame & bike, but would not be averse to a Black bike with black frame.

The only ones that have ever done it for me are silver/silver silver/blue and black/black. FWIW, nothing, but you asked.

HHHMMM, let me think.

For me it would have to be a black frame (including hanger

) and red paintwork.

well, you've already had a silver one so why not something different? Personally I like the blue and silver or the black with a black frame. My current bike is black and silver with a black frame which I do rather like the look of

i do like my old siver and silver tho

i looked at a blue with black frame but it was untidy, i am a picky bugger when it comes to purchasing bikes.

The black looks bad out of the box, tbh... Too much silver left on it, some horrible costcutting there. But if you can desilverise (or enblacken) the silver bits like the fork lowers, it comes together better.
