Each person will have their own bias in this matter. If the White finish is matte it will be more difficult to take care of over the long term, however.Which would you buy, or which do you think is the best colour for the Supersport S
It is matte, just like the Monster black. So less scratches but not an easy wipe down.I'm thinking the white finish will be like a satin white pearl kind of thing ? Not exactly matte but not gloss either
Silk is not a true matte finish. It's close, but isn't quite matte as it reflects a bit more light. Don't get me wrong, they're commonly referred to as the same thing, but when you really get down to it, they have their differences.It is matte, just like the Monster black.

The last thing that would affect my color decision? Which one is stolen more often.Someone I know that owned a few Ducati's claimed white is the safe haven for Duc's. Before he used to own red Ducati's and would have problems with suspicious people showing up and one time it got stolen. Along with other guys he knows with Red Duc's. Everyone he knows with a white duc hasn't had a problem!
I'm wondering about a tracker. Does any one have any experience with them?Someone I know that owned a few Ducati's claimed white is the safe haven for Duc's.

Id like to know about trackers too. I know dealers can installed key activated alarms in.I'm wondering about a tracker. Does any one have any experience with them?
I'm getting mine fitted with the chip protection material.I reckon whatever color I get (probably white) the first thing I'd do is get it vinyl rapped to protect it from stone chips.
Has anyone had experience with these products and found one brand better than others? 3M's stuff seems to be the 'premium' brand promoted around my neck of the woods. But I've no idea if is is superior or just has the most recognized brand.I'm getting mine fitted with the chip protection material.
The 3M material works fine as long as the surfaces are not convex so the tape won't stretch and adhere. The other issue is that a line of dirt will collect at the tape edge, which is very visible on light colored paints (like matte white).Has anyone had experience with these products and found one brand better than others? 3M's stuff seems to be the 'premium' brand promoted around my neck of the woods.
