Here you go guys, so we can settle the color wars.

**EDIT White/Red was meant to be White and/or Red. I am not going to have 10 different colors for all the years. On that note it is silver/charcoal. Now quit your b*tchin. oh yeah and black IS a color!

RAVEN!

lots of people going for black.... the poll was for best COLOR. Technically black is not a color

You are correct both Black and White are not colours but Black is one of he choices and I choose Black!!

Mind you I do love the 06 50th Anniversary Yellow as well.

1. Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)

Explanation:
When there is no light, everything is black. Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light. In other words, there are no photons of colors.

2. White is the blending of all colors and is a color.

Explanation:
Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.

Fact: The sum of all the colors of light add up to white.

This is additive color theory.

Well :rant

Where is the Lava red (shift red) or whatever you guys call it :scared

As an owner of a LLLLLLLLava red R1 I favour that :boobies

BUT

The first time I saw a raven 07 in the showroom it looked like pure evil, mean as a mean thing that had been pissed off:fact

If I had the :dollar at the time I would have been all over it like a rash.

So until we get the red option I can't vote:fact

Bottom Line - I like Black, BUT shows every last little imperfection in Paint and is WAY to hard to keep clean

Word! I switched from Charcoal to Blue after my wreck, and I hate it. Collecting the pieces I need to switch back to Charcoal. Can't wait, should have a full set of "mint" Blue plastics and tank for sale soon.
