I was going to post a pic of my scoot but it pixeled out! I will take a pic later and resize it. I really could not believe how much faster the 'Red' ones are. Made the white and black ones seem under powered!

Oh those Red riders -- they're a Red Menace! Just kidding, ScooterAddict. "Red Menace" would be a pretty cool handle, though. Maybe you have to be old enough to remember the Cold War to get the irony. Welcome to the forum!

We liked the red so much that we have 2 of them. They are not only nice looking but others can actually see us when we ride. The white ones "may" be faster, but no one can see them. That is not good, so red is better. :-)

Nope, red is not better.
White is the best!

In low light situations, red looks like black :P

Red does go faster. That is why fire trucks are red.

Does that mean us noir owners have gone over to the Dark Side? No, no! I propose we stop this color bickering and declare a PCX Rainbow Nation. Let's see some custom paint work! What about zebra stripes on a black background? Or white polka dots, like Buddy Guy's guitar? Kustom Kandy metal-flake Kalifornia Orange with flames! Yeah!!!

Okay, so that first cup of coffee was a little too strong . . .

I would like to see one that changes color, like the car someone added a YouTube video of. Imagine a bike that you can change the color on by way of an app on your phone. That would be fun. It could change while you ride. I bet they would notice you then. :-)

Grampian ones were always white

Red is very unstable, temperamental and can do very odd things.

YY, try to be positive. The weather might be beautiful, the sea air will be bracing, there will be interesting people and food, and good things to drink. Yes? Historical sites? Yes? Just think of all us Yanks, stuck in the middle of our gigantic continent, eating boring fast food and enduring one of our infamous election years. I watched your national election coverage on BBC World last spring, and it was over and done in six or eight weeks. You're a short train ride from world capitals, and you make the most beautiful cars in the world. Happened to see a brand-new white Bentley coupe in the park during my lunchtime walk. What a beautiful machine. Can Scotland be so bad?

Ah well, at least the midges will enjoy it, they love nothing better than munching on tourists.

Fyi, oil of citronella is what they don't like.
