Default What's the most visible color for motorcycles?

Hi all,

After having a near collision with an absent-minded cabbie - I started to look for more ways to make myself visible.

I thought about color - my bike is a dark blue, not the easiest to see in dark lighting.

There have been several studies on the issue of vehicle color, like "Colour choice can be crucial. Road Ahead" and "Does vehicle color influence the risk of being passively involved in a collision?".

Although none of them state a specific color as the safest - there are a few common grounds on vehicle color. For starters - it looks like Kawi has gotten it right with 'Team Green'.

You can check out the article I wrote on it here:
