Hi Dave: I looked closely at both colors via internet and in person regarding the pearl white. The pearl white won me over. It seems as though there are so many black bikes on the road with blacked out engines and rims etc. To me the pearl white is different in a good way. Anyway, can't wait to ride it. Haven't ridden since october 09 ! Have fun!1st guzzi said:Congrats Max,did you get white or black? I was there Thursday and picked up a Motto-Guzzi T-shirt. I intend to get the chrome luggage rack and add a small Givi box to it. So far no oil usage or loss in 600 miles and 7 days of riding. Best enjoy.Dave
