Interestingly white is not the best colour for being seen, that honour goes to Pink. Anyone for a pink bike and helmet then. Police using white helmets was about distinguishing them rather than being visible.
Someone's got that wrong, when I put my lid on at work I'm still ugly, not distinguished...... :alas:
I've heard that alpine white is the best colour offered by BMW, but I may be bias on that matter. [size=78%]
[/size] [size=78%]I'm sure they had a black or should I say dark blue at the NEC. Didn't look black to me or a very good twist on the colour to get everyone talking about it. To the point we need to drop into the franchise to see.[/size]
Nah......'grey may no longer be the best colour'......was it ever....?? As for this new so-called carbon black that isn't, when in fact it's just another shade of blue!.
Fifty shades of grey?? No thank heavens, but fifty shades of blue......now that could be interesting...??!!
Saw a new 'carbon black metallic' at Balderstone's in P'boro at the weekend whilst getting my '14 its first MOT, it looked a very dark blue metallic (a bit uninspiring really).
The pictures of the alpine white show the frame as either silver or black depending on which site you look. Can anyone who has seen one in the flesh tell me which it is?

My Alpine White has a silver frame. Haven't seen any black frame versions.
