What colour ....
White, black or silver? What is best for visual presence, I'm guessing white but I think the silver looks nicer! Such a quandary, why can't we have red in the UK, that looks lush!

UK colours are black, white and grey.
Black is statistically the most dangerous, grey the most boring and white is the correct colour.

Yup, Forza 300. As ever gn2, you are right about getting one in White although the grey 1 does look rather nice.

Re: What colour ....
Everyone should be forced to have red.

Have to say I don't particularly like the white one, the grey is prettier! Do you have a Forza 300 GN2?
Re: What colour ....
I do and its white.

Re: What colour ....
Mines red with a brilliant LED headlight but for all intents and purposes it's invisible to old biddies driving small cars, if the last three days are any guide.
Three old dears have either pulled out from a sidestreet, or in the last incident turned right directly in front of me. In each case they saw me but proceeded anyway as though I shouldn't have been there.
We need compulsory retesting of older persons here in Oz. I'm 73 and due to diabetes I have to pass a medical every 12 months and don't mind in the least. I sat my bike licence last year and passed without a problem, but still get scared every time I see grey haired drivers.
Guess you can call me ageist if there is such a word

There is, but you're not being ageist imo.JohnL wrote:Guess you can call me ageist if there is such a word![]()
Its a scientifically proven fact that people's ability to use the road safely declines as they get older.
At the risk of being a different kind of -ist, when I get to 80-odd years of age I would like a chauffeur to take me everywhere....

.......but it doesn't have any 'go faster' stripes! Perhaps white weighs less than any other colour then

Re: What colour ....
I agree with you 100%, scooters should be proper colours.
Other manufacturers can do it, even LML of India

Re: What colour ....
I'm glad mine is white as it's the most be-seen colour. I like the silver one though.
