Default getting a DUCATI 1098.... "RED" or "YELLOW" ?

Hey Guys:

I'm getting a 2008 Ducati 1098, couldn't decide on either to get RED or YELLOW.



Help me out here. Trying to decide. As of now I'm leaning towards YELLOW. Want to hear CL's own opinions.

Thank you!

Regards,
Jimmy

I'd get the yellow one. The yellow/black combo looks great. It looks like it'll stand out more.

My cousin has the red one.

My neighbor has the yellow one.

The yellow stands out nicely, but you get bored with it after a while. The red is classic; it doesn't go out of fashion.

Get the Red one!!!

My personal fave is the rare Black 1098-S with Red Frame. Have you seen it?

How about tri-colore or is that over your budget?

Red=Italian exotic. Get red! Good luck with your back.. Ducati riding position is horrible with due to their gas tank design.
