    Why the manufacturers have recently made white standard is another question - cost?

    Flat White, Red and Black have been standard non option colours for some time. This is why white is popular

    Nearly went pearlescent white, but couldn't find one.

    BMW's were about the only stock white bikes around at one time, and I think that was only because they were sold off the shelf to police forces worldwide.

    I'm thinking of going for a white Audi A6 next month. just have to get it valleted every few weeks to keep it clean.

    I got put off white estate cars many years ago - reminded me of Beirut ambulances which used to ply their trade in the 80s.

    White cars are cool and I'm glad they're making a comeback - Not so sure about the number of brown / bronze / copper coloured cars I've seen recently though. They'll look good in the showroom this year but quickly go out of fashion, like a brown 70's Capri with vinyl roof

    Nice council estate in the background.

    The white guy in the picture (is that you Dim?) should not have attempted the blinging salute, crossing ones arms and tucking ones hands into one's shellsuit is not cool, bro.

    Traders care about the colour as some don't sell at all well, especially green. For residuals buy silver, dark grey or black.

    White has been threatening to come back for a while, last time it was really popular IIRC was the late 80s. Traders like it as it's easy to touch up any damage. Red must be due a comeback soon
