One of the various schemes I looked at was the WW2 japanese plane look,

Though I planned to give it the full on "rising sun"

I think the latter would need a big fairing to work, I saw a GPZ of some sort with a variation on this once, meatball at the front and bottom of the fairing and the "beams" running right out along the length of the bike, it was superb... Looked fantastic and thematically spot on. Very striking. I decided against it in the end largely because it'd be the masking job from hell, and the stripes were hard enough

I don't really like that camo. But an arctic camo could look good, the whites and greys...
