I agree with Fizz on the race rep including sponsor logo's. Hence I did not go with the XEROX livery when I did a few bits too my bike.

That new CBR1000RR in the red,white and black with gold wheels is a stunningly beautiful machine in the flesh,(metal/plastics )

Never really liked race rep paint jobs on road bikes.

I accidentlly wandered into Honda dealers on monday, the red/white/black 'Blade looks so cool

None of the above.

I'd go for the Suzuka 8hour gixer paint job (only pic I could find):



Gorgeous.

Repsol for me, but only because of the base coat - Pearl Siren Blue. The most gorgeous darkest blue - which is why I used it when repraying my 'Blade.


I rarely like white bikes and have always found the red/white/blue CBRs a bit chavvy. Though the standard blue/yellow scheme from '03/4 (I think) was surprisingly good in the flesh.

Yeah, I admit - the hugger is black - I didn't get that sprayed.

Design your own faux race rep scheme?

I'm thinking of doing this but I won't go into the actual details of my design as I don't want anybody nicking my idea. Basically I'm taking a typical motorcycle accessory brand and using their logo and colours with some race numbers added.

That's why you should go with a design that's older than your bike
