I am looking to purchase the 1199 S, but cannot decide between white or red. Saw both at showroom.

The white is different, Red seems to be common color for ducatis. Tough choice.
 
They're all white, just most owners paint them Red. Some owners, oddly, don't paint them and leave them primer white. It's up to you.
 
White has a lotttttttt more room for creativity. Hell, it's practically a blank canvas. Just don't do a blue scheme n you'll be fine :)

Red is sexy no doubt but boring. I like different so that's why.
 
I guess if female dogs are what you're into, that would make sense.

My bike attracts enough unwanted attention. Sometimes too much.
 
Get the color you want to see at 12:30am when you wander into your garage for no other reason than to just stare.
 
Unless you have no garage (like me) and end up staring at your bike cover. Then color is irrelevant :)
 
i think red is the best fit for ducati. there are certain brands that are best looking in certain colors and ducati, ferrari = red hands down.

+1. I went through this same thing when I bought my panigale. If you would have asked me this question 2 years ago I would have said white, but as time went on, I realized (to me atleast) red was the color to go with. It's just a great color for ducati. Now you also have the option of black, which looks nice no matter what the bike
 
Red IMO is the way to go. Better resale value, and you will be seen by drivers texting or sexting or whatever drivers do these days. Although I think white looks pretty good too, but you'd have to add some color somewhere as it can appear bland on the Pani. Don't hate me, but that's just my opinion. When I first saw the 1199 in white, I thought it was boring and bland. Then I saw a friends white 1199 with some blue striping, it looked awesome. I think it was DoubleOO's?
 
I've had both...On balance I prefer the white...It ages better....
 
Initially in photos I was impressed with the white but after viewing both I decided to go for the red, IMHO they both need some decals on the side fairings, too much of one block colour, needs to be broken up a bit, I went with the Ducati Corse and Agip decals but the white with black Ducati Corse decals would look cool as well, at the end of the day you're the one who has to live with it.
