Default Paint Idea.

This year my other bike 'Anastasia' gets its new paint job I was thinking of something like this -



Or similar to the Arai -



But I'm rather taken on the look of a number of fighter jets so was thinking of maybe a theme towards that direction. Also it might make the look more easier to paint, so it all idea running at the moment, so I thought I'd ask you lovely lot for some suggestions.

Due to your current avatar I'd think something more in the way of black with a red stripe, kicking up over the grab rail at the back...

if I've got 15 mins later on, I'll try photoshopping that camo onto an sv - is it a curvy or a pointy? or is it even an sv?

While a great idea I wanted to avoid the black bike look.

Its a old curvy... cheers, I'd have done it myself but I never have the time lately to fiddle and do all that sort of stuff. I was familiar with the old version but its been so long now it all look alien to me...

not sure what you mean by the black bike look? As in reckon it'd be a pretty seamless job to get it looking smart

I'm also rather taken by the look of the sea harrier - Link (large photo)

Or keeping it Japanese, the white WWII look - link

I think the quotes were the wrong way around.... (just a guess though)

Nice, would match better to a pointy (personal opinion of course) but nice idea though, that could look really cool
