Carbon Black or Orange Rs s 2011 ...

[bignose13]

Finally going to take the plunge ..i have been lurking a while..a few questions to you all before..

I am trying to decide what color is best , i like both but..i can only get one
thoughts...
Orange is more visible so safer???
how is cleaning the mat paint
carbon black made in 2012 also, so will there more around???
is there a way to find out how many colors where made in each color year?
any other input would be great.

thanks for the help

Had a 2009 Phantom Black ( flat matte black ) and I used Turtle Wax Ice, it put a low luster shine on the black without leaving white marks . Tough to find out how many units in what colors where made, but someone may have that stat .:dontknow:

I would get the color that I liked the best as you can add a multitude of site sponsored LEDs to your ride to make you very noticeable to the cagers .:thumbup:

BRP adds and takes colors for the different model years as I think Yellow and Timeless Black have fallen by the wayside.

Black is nice---but---I really like the orange/black combo--more visible than the straight black.

I have the flat orange/black....I previously had the yellow. My new one isnt as visible as the yellow but now just putting on my lights to make me more visible. I use Honda pro-shine with no problems with the flat paint.
