My new toy

[GSXR Carlos]

Hi all,

I've been a member of this forum for quite a while and i just thought i'd introduce you to my new bike.

Here's a pic of my sv

which i'm replacing with this:

which now looks like this

:thumbsup:

let me know what you think

[Cloggsy]

Nice, but why the colour change :?:

Have you had it painted or is it just a plastics & tank swap :?:

[GSXR Carlos]

Me no likey yellow, but i paid £2800 for it so i couldn't walk away :wink:

All plastic swap, tank, nose and tail are off ebay,
lowers were silver and blue, which I (read me and my dad) painted and some decent looking stickers i picked up off ebay too :lol:

[Coddy_SV1000Z]

looks better in yellow mate, loads of blue/white ones around. wouldnt it have been easier to sell the yellow one on and buy a blue one? have you informed DVLA of a colour change?

[kwak zzr]

friend of mines got a black and yellow one and cant sell it for toffee :? hes been trying for ages.
i love the blue and white.

[Razor]

The blue and white sells, but I thought the yello/black looked pretty good.

Have you changed the colour on your V5?
If so does the original colour show up anywhere like on an HPI check?

[netsurfer]

Must say, both look real good!

Pete

[GSXR Carlos]

not changed the v5 yet, but will be doing soon

as far as the v5 is concerned the bike isn't even mine yet :lol:

But don't worry, i'm not riding it like that, it's off the road until i sell my sv

thought about selling the yellow and buying blue, but can't find any for the price i paid

i get bored and eBay is my friend (read devil on my shoulder :wink:)

[andyaikido]

Never thought about it before but where do you stand legally if the colour doesn't match the V5?

Might mean something to those on the site who throw on scrappy bodywork for trackdays, etc.

[hovis]

:cry: i prefered the yellow one

[falc]

Black and Yellow is far superior im afraid :D

Though that pics out of date it has new exhaust and undertray amoungst others.

The white ones are alot more common and at the end of the day its your choice. While your going for it with your head on the tank I dont think the colour really matters :D

Nice bike though and should have some good fun on it

[GSXR Carlos]

you're showing your age now Falc, that's a really old one :lol:

[Quiff Wichard]

S'in good nick though Falc..


to me suzi gixxer gotta be blue n white- no contest!!

just had a closer look at the pics..
u done well there- looks really good

[Beenz]

They are both good colours. I was pondering a black and yellow 750 last summer as the price was very good. I took too long to decide on if I really wanted the colour though so I ended up with a blue/white thou instead. Which is nice. :D

[vzzzbuxt]

blue and white gsxr is the colour to have even if common, though if i way buying id have the black and yellow as id save a fair whack of money buying it... besides dont really look at the colour of a bike when im riding it TBH

[Stormspiel]

The blue and white sells, but I thought the yello/black looked pretty good.

Yes it would show on a HPI check..

My GSXR was imported from jersey and stated as black changed to blue..Showed on the HPI i had done.

[barryrs]

I prefer the GSXR in yellow and black but then i did own a bright yellow Daytona 600 :cool:
