Default New bike - trade in?

Thinking about buying a new SV650. Have been for years, one that I'll keep long-term and put loads of miles on! I`ve never bought a new bike before, I`ve had 14 previous bikes and just have that feeling that the SV is the one for me. Very affordable as far as bikes go and there is no time like the present. I`ve been accepted for the suzuki 3% finance deal so as soon as I hand over £100 the bikes on order. Question- What colour black or white? I like white my partner likes black! Do I trade in my curvy or just pay the £100 deposit and sell on ebay for more money? Please, I know I will get the 'you will miss the curvy' rap but I`m doing this once and keeping the new bike for life and I cant keep 2!
cheers,
chris

I wanted the white one - love it with the blue stripe but the dealership couldn't get the lowers for it and I'm not a fan of them without the lowers. Went the the black and I love it to bits

Just looked on their website, do they really only do black or white? I'd probably go for the white

fairings can be swapped easily if you dont like the colour for previous models.

Well, they have offered £1000 on my 2001 curvy which brings payments down to £77 pm over 3 years. Nice. It`s a good curvy so i`m sure I can get £1300-£1400 on ebay. So far the colour choice is white. I didn`t know this as I couldn`t give a hoot about numbers but it will have the new 12 reg.
