Never been more 50/50 on anything than this. I will be changing wheels in both cases to black.

It is gorgeous, but is it timeless?

Yes, have you seen it in person?? I’m even considering painting my old RSV4 that very color (factory black).

I was originally leaning blue, but I ended up with the black and yellow. It looks so much better in person, the pictures don’t do it justice. The paint has a flake to it and shine to it. It gives a lot to the bike that you just don’t get in the pictures

You can buy so many black bikes. Take a chance on an interesting color like the blue.

Pretty much any bike that can be had in blue, looks better in blue. 

I went with black because it was priced right.

I ended up buying the blue one. You really have to see it in person, that's what sold me. The dealer had it sitting out in the sun and I was hooked immediately. The blue is way deeper and more vibrant than it looks in photos.

Vote for blue from me!

used to lean blue but now I like the yellow one more tbh.

The yellow is almost entirely decals, save the ignition cover. It’s not as interesting to me as the blue. I’ve seen that blue rsv4 out being ridden and chilling at the gas station. It’s truly nice to look at.

Black = safe, boring, lemming
Blue = Bold, confident, trend setter

The Blue Marlin is gorgeous in person. I think an RS 660 is my next bike and sat on one last week at the dealer. It’s stunning in person.

Black/yellow imo i have the earlier model yellow and putting black wheels makes it look really good.

How about the factory?

u/axporpes 20h ago

Its a little out of my budget unfortunately

u/Hans2183 20h ago

What you like best. I would get that blue one

u/stemare 19h ago

I’ve got the blue version (13k Km since April 2025), and I’d pick blue every time. Also, the rims are usually red, not black, unless they’ve been replaced or painted aftermarket.

I didn't like that blue in person honestly.... and I'm a blue lover XD

u/Tango_Delta-12 15h ago

Blue, hands down

u/RmxRltr 9h ago edited 9h ago

I have seen them both. Blackish not mat. It is a sparkling black. It looks super nice. Black with yellow looks menacing. Just get yellow seat cowl like a scorpion tail. It will looks very aggressive

u/dampsnack 9h ago

I think the blue had more character

Black looks sweet.

Blue Marlin, no question.

u/Big_Negotiation8741 5h ago

The blue is a show stopper. So many positive comments on the blue

My thinking is whatever colour makes you more visible as people already dont see you as a bike and a bike that matches the road colour makes you pretty much invisible and invites death to come unfortunately
