Recently I ran across a unscientific survey of the 10 most popular colors for motorcycles. Here’s the list…
- Black
- Red
- Blue
- Silver
- Yellow
- Gray
- Orange
- Green
- White
- Purple
All three bikes in our stable are black. What color do you own?

Black.. after all it is the color God meant Harleys’ to be
Here is another tidbit. White is the easiest color to re-sale according to some reports.

God meant for all M/C to be black my friend!
Guess I’m the odd man out then…with my silver Harley! (or woman, as the case may be)
A red and a black.
Champaigne for the 2005 Kawasaki Concours
One black. One dark purple. One blue/silver.
My Harley, Petunia, is blue.
Dixie is burgundy wine.
My bike is gunmetal gray and hubby’s is silver. I do appreciate a simple black bike though.
Fire Red Pearl, never liked red until I saw this shade on my bike.
My Glide is black, always in fashion, and slenderizing too!
Well everyone KNOWS red looks fast and black IS fast. But nobody notices the white motorcycle…especially the LEO’s.
That being said I left my 79′ GL1000 the original metallic burgandy, too lazy to paint it. ;^) May get a 00′-07′ EX250 and paint it flat white.
My Moto Guzzi is red. All Italian bikes or cars are red, even when they have been painted some other color.
Candy Sapphire Blue w/ a little primer gray.
Mine’s pearl yellow.

Let’s see now, my first bike was green, second red, third purple,4th chrome tank (bsa), maroon, first Harley was grey, second was purple and grey, and current one is Black Cherry Pearl. The Yamaha is white and blue mix. There were about 3 or 4 more in there somewhere but I forgot the colors.
Just about to choose a color and paint the entire bike.
Thanks for the info guys.

I’ll vouch for black being top.
2006 GSXR 600 HOT PINK. 800 MILES. OBVIOUSLY DON’T RIDE IT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE SO IT’S FOR SELL. SIDE NOTE… A HOT PINK BIKE IS VERY HARD TO SELL!!!
