  • Buying an official 'Blade: Need color opinions!

    Hello everyone !
    As some of you know that we (my bro and me) are gonna buy a Honda Fireblade this month. We are from kolkata, and we have very limited options here (service/spares etc), so we decided to go for bikes available through official dealers in india.
    I am a fan of yamaha R1 but since the R1 09 model is not available in India , and it would be a crime if its released just after a couple of months !!
    So my bro convinced me to go for Fireblade.
    That decided, we are now a bit confused with the colours available in India.
    Fireblade is available in two colours. Achilles Metallic Black and Pearl Siren Blue.
    I know colour is a personal choice, still as my bro and i like different ones, i want all opinions about it
    I will keep you all posted with our progress with the bike.. cheers !
    The one with golden wheels is Blue.....
    I think these are the first pictures of this bike out of showroom.. hope you guys like it...
    Honda India's website has pictures of both these bikes. But these pictures are all taken in a studio. So we asked the dealer to send normal pictures.
    I am posting the pictures here.
    Please tell me how they are .
    May the torque be with you..

              From the pics you have provided.. My choice would be certainly the one with gold wheels.

                  on my personal note...i dont like both of these colors...

                  i would like a pure black or maybe a yellow/black combo...

                  i dont if you can get the color of ur personal choice...with some push

                  if not go for the metallic color u mentioned...the dark blue was good enough but the golden wheel color is not looking good...

                  how much is the price...is the cbr600 available in India through dealers...

                    The Blue = Attention grabber.
                    The Black = Elegant yet understated.

                    Match to your taste and take your pick mate !

                    P.S : A 180BHP Honda will garner sufficient attention as it is. Hence, do not ignore the gorgeous black Ceeber for 'Number-of-eyeballs-grabbed-reasons'

                            aaahhh! I am coming to your home after you buy the Blade!
                            Just to check out the bike!

                            I simply love the blade!

                            Generally a color on which dust is not much visible is good! I suggest the gold wheel one.
                            edit:which is that showroom?
