Spoken like a true Ducatisti. Go Capirossi!

I don't think the color of the bike makes much difference to cagers. When they do the dreaded left-turn-in-front-of-you maneuver, they have no idea what color your bike is. Maybe a headlight modulator or riding on highbeams helps, though.

I do think that helmet color (and maybe jacket color) help a little. I've been told by cagers that I've passed that the thing they saw when I zipped by them was my yellow helmet. And when I ride at night, I make sure my gear has reflective patches or piping on it--my wife has told me that I'm a lot more visible compared to other bikers out there.
