R6 Advice anyone ?

HI people.

I currently have a 2001 R6 which I will be selling in a few months time. Thing is, the wheels really need refurbished, which I am going to have done before I sell the bike.

I dont know what would be more attractive to buyers - black wheels or white. Ive seen R6's this age with both colours, I know what I prefer - but im doing this to sell the bike so Im trying to get an idea of what most people like so that the sale attracts as much attention as possible.

What do you prefer?!!!!!

    Black rims hide brake dust and are easier to keep clean

    Go for black as white are difficult to keep clean. If memory serves they are also black as standard so that should help in keeping the bikes value.

    black wheels ftw. everyone likes that stealth look these days.

    if you need wheels or parts before you sell the bike. check out this site. they only sell parts for the r6.

    Black

    But since you're paying to have them re-furbished (powder coat) - Blue, the same shade as the bike.

    Will increase the value of the bike.

    Gotta agree, black would probably be more attractive to a larger group of buyers.

    black will show less, but you could also let a buyer know that you will get it painted whatever color he/she wants. that might be an option.
