Hey Doc welcome to the site. I actually prefered the blue 1 in colour but as I didnt purchase mine untill the end of the season, I ended up with a Silver one as thats all they had. The daily riding dirt and grime doesnt show up as much on the silver. I'm thrilled with my Silver 1 now. Good luck with your acquisition and I bet you'll love the bike no matter what colour you end up with.
