black or white for 2012

[6R Blackout]

Id prolly go yellow...and 2009....otherwise your bike is slower. Yellow is the fastest and always will be.

Let me say this, your bike is only as fast as you ride it CC! Color has nothing to do with it! Take no offense just kidding around!

When I went to the Yamaha Dealer in Feb all of their sport bikes were either Black or Blue, except for one badass looking 2010 FZ6R that that was white (with red graphics not the pink tribal). It caught my eye then and still gets more complements than any of my friends darker bikes. Like others have said it is much easier to keep it looking clean than the black option and does hide my brain fart scratch.

For 2012, no yellow... btw, black is $100 more. The dealer where I bought my current bike, has the white one (a week ago) for $7200 (sticker $7599), out the door with tax, doc fees, reg fees, BS fees=$8238. He said in April more promos will be offered. So one more month ain't gonna kill me to wait.

I am considering the white one because I feel it's more visible to other motorists, especially at night.

From time to time, I have to drive my White Work Truck (which is pretty big) and motorist still treat me like I'm invisible, especially the ones on their cell phones. Although white may be more visible, when a cager isn't paying attention to the road or his/her surroundings, it doesn't really matter what color your bike is.

Personally, my FZ6R is Blue, I have kept it stock; but do like the look of the decals removed from the fairings. I'm still on the fence about removing the graphics.

There are a lot of pics on this forum, you should be able to see just about every color scheme and with/without graphics.

The white one is terrible ~ just the 2010 model minus the red seat and half of the decal on the front fairing and the cool gold wheels.

Yamaha, you suck

 

[SAFE-T]

Buy the black one or change the decals and wheels on the white one

:zombie:

Get the black one

The black one is sexy, the white one... not so much

Looks like they changed the design for 2012 and the white ones dont have the pink decals anymore or is that FZ6R decal pink... if it is I'm sure it can be replaced/removed.

2011 raven black has been proven to be the fastest and most responsive color and yesr of all the fz6r ever made.

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and I joined because I am itching to buy an fz6r after comparing it with the versys and the ninja 650.

Anyway, in my research one of the articles that I've read was to appeal to the female motorcyclists, Yamaha made the white model. I am male, 52 yrs old and I am considering the white one because I feel it's more visible to other motorists, especially at night. Having sited the safety aspect of this color, I really like the black one better. Either color, this is one good looking bike! All the reviews that I've read are great. A couple of things in particular that I like about this bike over the kawis are, 4-cylinders and adj seats.

One thread I read from a guy who bought a white one and had the graphics removed, leaving it all white, which also looked good.

Would anyone care to comment-male, female, black fz6r owners, white fz6r owners?

you want visibility get a new oldstock yellow fz6r

 

[miketriebsch]

What's more visible than yellow lol. No but seriously I like the white, once you take off the sticker and cover the paint on the tank with the black cover it looks great!!

 

[dmkun]

Go with black...

 

[JT]

Black all the way. you forget that these cage-rs are color blind. lol

Any color you select should be fine ... as long as it is black.
And about visibility - you ARE invisible to the drivers no matter what color you choose.
I've seen people pull in front of the RED fire truck with the sirens and lights on. I don't make this up, she was driver in the car just in front of me. And she was not talking on the phone!
