Well it has finally happened. I finally settled my claim and got the money for when that idiot pulled out in front of me. So now I have a handful of cash and am trying to make a decision but I am at a loss. I loved my Monster and will absolutely get another one at some point in the near future but for now it will be a baby Superbike. So here is my problem, WHITE or RED? I mean I go look at them and I think, oh that white looks so good, when it is clean of course, but then I think it's Italian, it's supposed to be red. I am paralyzed by my own indecision. And I know this is a Monster board so bear with me a lil please?

All my best ideas get me into trouble.

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything..... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

If Ducati didn't think white looked good they wouldn't have offered it.

White is the new Red.   ;)   

If you aren't a cleaner, go red.

See that is what I am worried about with the White, not being a latte drinking type rider, not that there is anything wrong with that  ;D, I would rather ride than clean, so it would be red, but DAMN the white looks so good. I am so confused. I am either lucky or cursed too since my wifes response is, 'Just pick one, buy it, and go for a ride ya big pansie.'

White doesn't get that dirty.  I haven't washed mine in a while and it still looks sweet!  ;D

The hardest color to keep clean is black (in my experience).

I think you're worrying needlessly. I have an '05 white car, and I've never had any major issues keeping it looking reasonably presentable, and a fully-faired bike should be less of a problem to wash than a car, IMO. Also IMO, a red bike looks just as ratty when it's dirty as a white bike does.

White. This whole "Ducatis should be red" thing is a relatively recent stereotype anyway.

I vote white...plus it hides scratches better assuming no paint or color was swapped in the incident.

I like the pearl whit on the 848....

not real impressed with the quality of the ones I've seen though.
