Thinking about the S model and leaning towards the Black. Anyone care to comment on how the Black looks in person?

When polished and clean the black looks WAY better than the red. But the red hides dust, dirt, and scratches better. I say if it's going to get ridden then get the red. If it's going to sit in your garage and just come out for the local bike nite, then get the black.

Hi,
I mixed both colors: have the black version with red plastics, another customer of Ducati Lyon has the opposit: red frame with black plastics. Picture of mine is attached. Personally, I find the black frame / red plastics more agressive than the original versions, i.e. even more Hyper!!!

Black looks better in my opinion... Test rode one a little over a week ago, nice! I won't be buying one though, too much scratch at $15K. Fun ride, wonderful music to accompany your hooliganism! :thumbup:

saw a black one saturday....the black and carbon and the red frame looks killer...they had a yellow non "S" version next to it and made the black look even better

How about CF??

you get lots of brake dust from this bike, I think the red hides it better, but the black does look awesome, the other thing to consider is that you need to get the S model to get black.....I dont think the extra 3k is worth it.

just my humble opinion, but I've ridden both bikes

Black is cool, as is CF.

I will stick to the red one tho.

I like the white and red! Very classy!

I wanted the red but when I saw the black one in the flesh it made me change my mind.
Black sucks as dust and scratches show so much but you can always change the plastics or get red ones.
The black frame however ages a lot better and is way easier to touch-up than red ones IMO.
