Has anyone felt this way about the Red SS?

The press release photos made the bike look very sharp, but now that riders are getting their bikes, I can't help but be a little disappointed on how "old" and unrefined it looks.

I am heading to Bert's Mega Mall in So-Cal today at 5pm to see the reveal and see the bike in person, and I really hope it changes my mind, cause I really love the White SS and was thinking since November that it would be my new bike.

Nope. It's a Ducati, it has to be red.

I saw it in the flesh earlier this year at a motorcycle show and it looked gorgeous. My wife vetoed the white, she thought it looked tacky. Can't say I agreed, but she wasn't objecting to me buying one in red, so I went for red LOL

hahaha awesome! I just have a softspot for white bikes. Hey at least the rims are red!

I'll see them in person tomorrow, so final answer happens then. But I'm thinking I'd go red if I got one. Simply because, for me, white is a silly color for anything that has contact with the real world. I don't wear white shirts, because they have a half-life of about 15 minutes, and asymptotically approach grey of their own accord once I put one on. White bikes (and especially white wheels on bikes) have about the same decay rate.

I'm waiting to see bike in person as well. the fairing connecting into the sides of tank always looked awkward too me. so I'm not sold, till i see it. i was not sold on the panigale design when it first came out, then i saw in person and it changed my mind. hopefully, i will see the SS this weekend.

Saw the red SuperSport S in person last Saturday. Prior to I was leaning towards white because the red in pictures didn't look all that good. But, when I saw it in person, I knew that red was the way to go. It looks great!

Love my red Supersport certainly not disappointed!

It's better looking than me, let's put it that way

They both look stunning, the only odd bit is the way the fairing underneath finishes early. The Panigale looks better in this area.
The white, being satin shows the shadow detail which highlights the subtle shapes of the tank and fairings.
But I could easily live with either colour and love it.....
