New riding gear
Are you going to buy new riding gear to match the color of your ZX-14
or did you choose the bike to match the leathers
At least I'm thinking of buying a new helmet
but I can't deside between silent Schuberth C2
and noisy, but with communications option Nolan 102
Color - which color?
Black to match any clothing (or amtt dark grey)
Perhaps bright color to let the the cgaers to C me better
Dirt will show more easily on a bright color
Decisions, decisions...

Yes a black bike with some scuffs and a kind of musty smell, should match my leathers ok.
Only joking, got a blue one on order and my Spidi leathers will look great.

Buying new stuff. Got a new blue Teknics jacket for Christmas when it was discovered I was buying a new blue bike. Once the bike arrives, I'll be getting a new helmet and some new gloves to match the jacket and some black leather pants to connect to the new leather jacket. Mmmm blue rocks.

I have two riding suits. One fabric cold riding suit, mostly blue & black & a JR jacket and pants, the JR jacket is blue/white/black.
I could go blue or black.................I'm going with the blue as it is the same colour my ZRX was, the blue looks great when it is waxed up........does not show the scratches & dust like black does. Pictures don't do it justice, you have to see it in the sun. Red does not work for me, probably should be called, 'Arrest Me Red'. You'll probably get a speeding ticket even if you are under the limit on a red '14!
I would have to say though, that the black probably best suits the '14 & it's styling..........looks meanest!
