Re: bike colours
Being female and with at least a slight sense of colour co-ordination I would rule out the blue with red wheels

Re: bike colours
Nice fairings deserve simple colours which look best and have ease of spray repairs if you have a tumble. Have a look on the racing line photography website for examples in the minitwin races: http://www.racing-line-photography.c...t=GS&gallery=1
   long as the paint is slippery! |

Re: bike colours
Coxxy's hit the head there.
Looking there I'm guessing its an M1, plain colours suit it best If your thinking bright colours here's well done example

Re: What colour to paint my bike?
end of the day it really only needs to look good from the stands, so dont worry too much. Most race bikes are tatty as you like wen you get up close lol
Agreed with the simple easy/cheap to touch up paint job. Mine are all white with green wheels and green tank work |
