Default Red, yellow, or blue plastics?

I am looking at replacing the plastics on my 2002 300. I am going with the 2003-2006 style, as that's what is on the bike right now. My question is, what color should I choose? Red and blue are tied for second, and yellow is a distant third. They all cost the same, so now it's down to opinion. Nothing really jumps at me, so any advice, arguments, opinions, and/or pictures are appreciated.

I can get a complete plastic kit shipped for less than $300 versus the full transformation kit for $700 or more. I'm cheap, plus I don't want to get too far into this beater before I decide to move on to the next great project. I do like my Gasser, it's just that I don't like it "THAT" much. Not yet, anyway. I have other things to upgrade, like wheel sets, tires, gasoline, etc before I spring for that kind of bling. Trust me, I was looking at the kit long and hard, but I can't see myself with that pretty of a bike that I ride 12 times a year.

I believe that if I make it beautiful that I will be skeered to ride it properly. Therefore cheap and utilitarian.

If you can find green shrouds, I have some extra 94-98 Kawi plastic Personally, I like the red. I've had blue. I'm fond of the yellow, but prefer the red. I still have set of beat up "PINK" stuff from my 2001...The "pink" CR.

Red is nice, looks good and seems to hold up the best. A red and black bike is always my favorite. White ages very fast.

Red is creeping up in my opinion, just because it's different than anything else in my garage. Well, except for the three XR100's, but those are different. Or not. Whatever.

But yeah, red is moving into the slight lead. Anyone have pics of their bike to share in either of the three colors? 2003-2006 only, of course.
