Lot's of votes for red. That's the joint most expensive too 
This is nice. The only thing putting me off is my last bike was black and it would be nice to have a change

Could you post a pic of your bike? Wheels, engine color, seat, etc would influence this decision for me.

Is that a super dark red? I am INTO it if so.

Blue, red, gold imo. Love those early 70s cb metalflake colours and they stand out in a world of black, silver, flat black, grey...

Would you believe... i just looked at this very bike in the shop the picture was taken
( there are some more on the trademe site ) and it is a metallic brown, not quite as dark as the picture would like you to believe.
That is the same shop i bought my cb1100 from , this bike is immaculate, done some 5000 km and is a 2014 model imported from japan
as all the others in the shop, it is priced $2000 nz, $1000 us less than a brand new one, so a bit steep.

I’m seriously considering doing my CB in dark metallic purple. The Arai Defiant-X Outline helmet I have is purple/black with silver outlines and it’s stunning.
Max, is it the same brown as the 1970s 500 Four?

Hi there mate, the original cb500 was a distinct brown metallic, like this; https://classicmotorhub.com/showroom/honda-cb500-k1/
this is a much darker and nice flaked metallic.
here's the link to the ad; https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mo...48.htm?rsqid=f39689050cbb4604b76e04a7f9b16d34
This link will expire at some stage but you can rightclick on the fullscreen picture and "save picture as" the pic's in a folder if you want.
There is a red doorframe in the reflection of the paint, so adjust for that and picture no 7 will give you the best idea of the color.
click to enlarge the photo and click on the right or left arrow in the picture to navigate to the next one ( there are twenty pic's ) and there are currently seven cb1100's for sale on this website.
On a slightly different note i took some pics of this guy today also, the owner had ordered it through the dealer and after many months it arrived, of course it was sold when it arrived in the shop, i think it will be on the road soon so i asked permission to take some pics and here it is;
We may even hear from a new owner soon, who knows?

Thanks, max. It’s a beautiful bike at a ridiculous price. Interesting that people in NZ are importing post 2012 bikes. Good for them. And good for NZ that it’s obviously not too hard to do.

Metallic Purple - If anyone hasn't suggested it already. Like a Yamaha FS1E (I think)

Here's the 'purple'/silver of my BMW. It's actually a metallic mauve that they call 'aubergine'. It's very attractive with the silver, but maybe a bit 'girly' as a colour, perhaps?
Bazbro, is the tank bag big enough?
