BMW paint schemes

[Deleted member 1344]

I like the white pinstripe version of the R18B/TC, but the other paints have great optics. While looking at pics of "Babes with R18" (I was looking at the bikes!), the 1) galaxy dust, 2) gloss black, 3) Manhattan metallic version are all remarkably attractive......so much so that I could almost sell my Harley and buy a second R18 model.

Probably unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of the first edition pinstripe. Gives me "winga dinga" vibes. I love the galaxy dust, and might have gone that direction if I could have found one kind of local that I could have negotiated maybe 1k more than black on. Another issue is, the galaxy dust just doesn't work (for me) with black accessories, and I'm not a fan of chrome. Manhattan is neat, and would probably split the difference between my worry of getting tired of galaxy (crazy colors always look neat for like 6 months), but I'm pretty unashamedly "black everything". It holds up well over time, doesn't go out of style, and a well done black metallic just works.

Manhattan was my third favorite color for the TC, but the wife loved it the best, so..... Happy wife, happy life.

True statement.
So on your own, which one would you have chosen first?

I would have gone with the classic black.
