Thank you all for voting - Cheers.
As I expected red is the most popular colour at the moment and black a close second.
IMHO when a customer is spending almost £14k on a motorcycle and maybe hundreds or thousands on accessories, I think a choice of colours, within reason, should be available.
As I stated at the beginning of this thread, I like red but really wanted a black 1098S. Obviously if I wish, I could have the bike sprayed black at my expense, but why should I, I'm not buying a Honda C90 (They're available in several colours !!), for me and I'm sure for many others £14k is an awful lot of money to spend on a car let alone a bike.
Ducati has produced a spectacular super bike being the 1098, however quite frankly to make it available in red only is IMO a cop out. Some of the 1098's predecessors were available in other colours, mainly black and yellow, why doesn't this apply with the 1098?

If the above statement is genuine and judging by the associated poll, silver has not received one vote, if the 1098 designer had his choice of colour (silver) this would have been truly unpopular.
