Very comfortable to sit on despite the "odd" seating and truly the most unique bike out there these days! 
BTW John, I voted Red for the added contrast, but either way, you will have an amazing machine!

I vote for red cause black at least some parts of the bike will have some contrast. With black, nothing stands out except the gold shocks.
And another thing, learn how to post pics vertically so I don't have to scroll across. Last warning before you're banned.

I seem to be the odd one out here, but I think that's the ugliest bike I've ever seen. I've seen plenty of Ducati's in the past and they've looked great, but that one, I don't know, it's way too busy and looks like something from Mad Max. Of course it doesn't matter what I like 
When I voted red, I hadn't scrolled down the thread and had an image like this in mind:

i vote black!
i've had a ducati in red with white racing stripe. pretty sick.
i wish the streetfighter s had more color schemes as the monster though.
dont worry about a black bike standing out, true ducati riders will know whats up.
its sorta like how e60 members can tell what parts are mods and such.
and you can always paint the gas tank, and seat to your liking anyways.
thats the beauty of a naked bike! no fairings to paint and it looks good naked!
i'm a big fan of the single swing arm design, as well as the reverse front struts,
but i always wanted the exhaust to tuck under the seat. the stock exhaust sits a lil' low for me.
if i still had my s2r i would invest in something like this.
it shows off the 'floating wheel' look and you still have the clearance in the back.
