[Ducati] Minoli's Blog - pick your 1098 color

[the Kid]

I second the Yellow! While Yellow is loud and obnoxious, it is already 
Ducati's second color. And as stated it is also Ferrari's #2 color. Some 
people, like myself, prefer that to red. I like Moonbeams suggestion of 
Silver, even though it wasnt one of the three choices. More then anything I 
think safety. There are no better visual standout colors then Red and Yellow 
(except maybe orange, go figure, red AND yellow). A black bike disapears 
into the back ground, a white one does the same. Any color looks better with 
a pearl overlay. I like Viki's suggestion of white with a blue pearl. Black 
with a red or green pearl would look nice. Hell maybe a black with a tri 
color pearl red pearl on top, white pearl mid section and green pearl belly. 
No matter what colors they decide to go with I am a fan of the 1098! Plus, 
if they dont come in yellow, I'll just be obligated to paint mine! Although 
I am thinking of the Tri-color, love at first sight!
