If I had my choise it would have been the blue or white. I could only buy used, so I ended up with black. It's a very 'handsome' color but can blend into the background, cagers can't see you as well. I'm going to come up with other ways to be seen. Already bought a jacket with some hi-vis...

Thanks for all the replies. Madhatter, what is your highway pegs set-up? That is something I am absolutely up for.
