The chrome looks richer from my point of view / have to agree on the white dial faces though , they would look great

Chrome for me.
Now a 1250 engine thats usable to 11k would be awesome.
Not much need for 2 bikes then

Chrome rings for a bit of bling, & the '06' is just a little bit retro anyway!
Those white faces suit the '06' spot on, only 3 lights & it redlines at 11,000!

Silver looks classic / retro. Black more "now"
Love the white backgrounds though.
SS Ducati's had them & they looked great !
Cheers,

Must make the front of the bike a bit lighter. That fella had trouble keeping the wheel down.
