I like white bikes. Especially cruisers painted in deep pearl white. Then again I like any color bike....heck, I'd paint it at the earliest opertunity but, if all I had to ride was that "Powerpuff" bike, I'd still ride it. You could laugh all you want but I'd still be riding.

I feel the same way every time I take the wife's scooter out for a good run (she doesn't ride unless the weather is perfect).

I could care less what I'm riding so long as I'm able to carve up some twisties, I can toss that under 300 lbs 2 wheeler around like it was a bmx bike.

Whoa...this is a momentous post....#2000. I must not be riding enough.

I love them dual headlamps on there.
...I also really like the "big can" headlamp on the C-50 too...

I bought my first white bike this year (S-40) and like it a lot... white body with black engine treatment + chrome looks mighty fine! But, I like black and white photographs as well... maybe I'm just an achromatic kind of guy.

I bought a suzuki c50c it has a pearl white base, black studded seats, lots of chrome, and some custom gold/yellow/brown flare emblems on side of tank and fenders. I think it gets lots of wow's. I prefer a lighter color to the popular black bikes. I feel safer, more visible. I have always been one not afraid to 'follow th e crowd" and seek individuality. Perhaps that is why I like this bike's looks so much.

I'm still looking for the bike in that picture is this like finding Waldo,

INDWND · 05-15-2007, 03:09 PM

Have you seen the M109 in White? I think thats a sweet ride. wife didn"t like the C50 in white so we have the Gunmetal grey C50T. White wouldn't show the dust as bad as some colors that come to mind. I believe the decision is yours to make-Happy choosing-

SNAFU · 05-15-2007, 11:24 PM

Hey, what happened to the pic. of the white M109?

Why here it is.

cms58 · 10-11-2007, 04:46 PM

My first street bike was a Yamaha 1981 seca 550. White trimed with red and black. I liked white on a bike if it is done well. I saw the 2007 S50 in white and had to have it. I have multiple compliments about the metallic white color. Go for it if you like white, so what if someone doesn't like white, if it is you, go for it. NUFF SAID

Bobt · 04-23-2008, 09:09 PM

Yep I like white I just bought a 2006 C50C pearl white with gold & silver ghost flames. I get lots of complements. I too questioned a white bike but like others said buy what you can afford & what you like. YOU said YOU like it so go for it!!...now if you said you liked the pink one...well

Good luck with you decision

RED-C-50 · 04-27-2008, 09:15 PM

05 Honda 750...

Like they said "Get what you want"! Before I bought my bike I was looking at every bike on the highways and I noticed that the lighter color bikes stood out! I wouldn't recommend the pink for a guy but there's nothing wrong with white on bikes. Two tone colors are cool. Here's mine
