If you use a fully chromed Harley Davidson for your primary mode of getting around for your shoots - you'll want to get the chrome body. On the other hand if you use one of the understated four wheeled vehicles with the plastic bumpers - you'll want to go with the black version. Likewise if you go with the fully chromed folding bicycle - chrome R8. If you go with the black Trek bike - black body. It all comes down to how you look as you leave the vehicle and raise the camera to your eye. You want to give off a feeling of consistency to your subject as you approach them from your vehicle.
