Well Im undecided what colour I'm going to repaint the SV after my little accident.

Choices:
Gloss Black (As Original)
Satin Black
Matt Black (Haven't seen this yet on an SV)
Graphite

Hmm... Too many decisions.

Anyone got any pics of colours or suggestions?

Is graphite like the gunmetal colour? If so that gets my vote.

Graphite, white and matt black all sound good. I also really like the red/orange type colour that didn't seem to run for long around the K3 time. For example, please see link. http://www.suzukicycles.org/photos/SV/SV650S/2003_SV650S_orange_side_580.jpg

This bike colour is ginger. GINGER.
There's too many gingers in this world already.

I saw the Wheeler Dealers on Discovery turbo yesterday and the cometely wrapped a Mini in carbon fibre effect film. I think that would be pretty cool looking

I always think that a bit of custom art never goes amiss. Have a look here (http://sleevage.com/cannibal-corpse-uncensored-covers/) for what I think would make some amazing tank art.

One of my favourite bands too. :D

I would say white as I think it really suits the sv, but there seems to have been an influx of white lately.
What about a variation of white like the pearl coloured Ducati 848?:cool:

I've never seen a White pointy with black frame, that would be pretty cool :)

The graphite one would be good as well.

Ktm orange, black frame ?

That would look so much better if it was naked.

Similar to suzukis I guess dave, apart from the blue bits.
Didn't even know they done them like that ;)

White, keep the frame black.

that's what mine is now... which I had gone for black gloss now tho as finding parts to match is a right bitch!

any part i order i have to rub down and spray to match. which is ok if you don't mind that sorta thing, i just don't have the time really

I'm still unsure what the different shade is between Matt Black, Satin Black and Gloss...

Hmm...

isn't that a three stage? pearl black ?

I personally think that what's the point painting it in a colour that you can get as standard? Go wild, or just slightly different... like the 848 white :D

He'll realise soon enough Reeder that 848 pearl white is the only choice! ;)
