Default relentless paintjob?

I own a blue k6 sv650 but have always loved the relentless black paintjob....I.will not leave sv TERRITORY FOR A gsx, I WANT MY SV..!!!!

Do you think it will look good, if if leave off the lowers, don't have any anyway.. fit undertray, hugger and lower bellypanel...???

Ideas? Or am I just wasting cash.....I simply love the SV. handlesverywell,sounds awesome with myblue flame on and can handle pretty much what I chuck at it. Idont need flat out speed. I just cruise with noise....lol

I would really appreciate some feedback good and def bad..

I think it could look good if done right. Someone on here had a rizla paint job on their curvy, and i've also seen a rizla paintjob in green (instead of blue) on a curvy which was really nice.

Might look better with the full fairings, but maybe you or someone can whip something up on photoshop to see how it might look as fully faired or half-faired with a bellypan

I'd like an old-skool pepsi colourscheme, or lucky-strike. Anything old and GP500 related

i'd be tempted to have a bash at a lucky strike paint scheme if i wasn't in the garage all day today maybe later

funnily enough there was an article in bike mag about cigarette sponsor paint schemes this month... "If it wasn't for the likes of lucky strike and rizla, we'd have all been riding round on Nescafe gsxrs or Pantene r1's".... Or more realistically, "Tena For Men Triumph" as in bsb last season

As for the paint scheme, I had a bash at creating a 'race rep' style sv which was basically covered in sponsor logos. Everyone said it looked like a police bike or complete carp, and that the lines of the SV are much better left uncovered to be observed by the naked eye... I reckon with a bit of thought and planning, the sv would look greak with various paint schemes...

I love the Relentless font in itself, but given the link to Suzuki, it's a superb choice of paint job IMO. It's quite a 'noisy' design though, given all the lines/flourishes sticking out all over the shop. That said, on the proper Relentless bikes, it's pretty small. I do, however, think it would look better on a bigger area like fairings, rather than on a Bellypan. Will be very interested in seeing what you do with this.

Suzuki SV650 in Pepsi colours. Just like Schwantz in 89/90 I think it was.

Great paintjob

There was a limited edition "25 years of GSX-R 750" one a couple of years back. Not sure whether pencil shavings' one is one of those or a custom job.

Reds, these:

are cheap enough that you could get two in white and see what it looks like.

Hmm, a pair of those, on either side of a belly pan, and some "no half measures" ones on the tail unit could look very good. Tempting.
