Well, if you're just going to keep it in the garage, I'd go with Black. But if you're actually going to ride it... go with the blue. It won't show every little swirl/scratch/fingerprint that the black one will. :p

Alright make way for the:moto: Hang on boys!!!

I call :bs about the garage crap. Bikes are bought to be rode not roped off! I got my raven on the 17th of December. Ride it daily unless it rains, rain aint fun. I took this pic of my mileage last night. If I was living in cali I would probably be well over 5g's in miles. By this weekend I'll probably be past 2500.

Ride it dont wipe it!:rant

draven where at in Ohio are you? I'm not far from Cleveland, which dealer did you go through if you don't mind me asking? the only ones I have seen in person so far were the ones at the bike show that allready had scratches and fingerprints allover them from everyone and theyre brother sitting on them.

The Ravens are slower.
They have extra paint on the rims which equals more rotating mass.
Since they all have the same engine, the extra mass makes them slower.
Plus you'll have to be on a waiting list to get one.
Get the blue one.
If you aint happy with it, paint it black and add some red stipes on the rims.

Actually black and red paint jobs are for Hondas.
If you want a Yamaha, buy a blue one.
My honda was painted blue cause thats what color its supposed to be.:lol

theres not extra paint on the rims, its rim tape, which equates to like .25 pounds and you can easily take it off.
Shows what you know... it is paint and it's not very easy to take off. Easier way to get rid of it, is to put black rim tape over the top of it.
