oh no! lol inspired by the bio ethanol powered daytona 675 in bike magazine over the last few months... they have it sprayed in white as a base colour, then a funky cartoon style apple shaped earth spray job over the lot.

Any suggestions for another random paint job? photoshop will let me change to colour of the bike to everything except white as it washes out

Do it aquamarine!!!!

Hmm can I get a copy the Photoshop tool you used?

"Merge Motorcycle and Wheelie-Bin" is it?

Does look good tho

As for the "never sell it cos they will think its crashed" argument

Stuff it - its your bike NOW, dont worry about resale or even next week, if you want to do it, can afford it, then do it

custom paint, I am biased!!

try and do a mock up of how it would look with the laguna seca blue that BMW did a limited run with, its an amazing colour I think!

Me too - though I'll admit my first thought regarding the "Please Recycle" bit was "Oh look, an organ donor!"

It cost me £400 to get my Blade done - full fairing, mudguard and ar$e end, but that was a favour from a mate in the business price. Probably looking at £500-600 depending on paint type, decals etc.

I did think of returning mine back to it's stock red... but apart from not particularly liking red bikes (though anything would look better than what it's previous owner did to it) I love the Repsol Blue and if I was getting it done I'd want a scheme just for me.
But then the BlueBlade is 10 years old, so resale value wasn't as much of an issue...

... that and I'll be parted with this bike over my dead body...



... or for a black Speed Triple.
