IMO, if you want a GSX-R colour scheme. You have 2 options.

1) Buy a GSX-R.
2) Buy a tube of toothpaste (come on Filipe, you're beind slow today!)

Seriously, that pointy in need of the toothpaste washing off, does nothing for me.

Steve H, matt black you say? Someone buy me either a GSXR 750 K6/K7 or a ZX636, I'll spray it matt black & send you pictures of me riding it with my matt black justissimo

Nah, don't like 'em. I like the Yam speedblocks, and the Honda HM Plant Colours, but I wouldn't put those on an SV either- GSXR colours are for GSXRs...

But, you could do something more fitting to the SV using the GSXR colours... Sort of like they did with some GSXs, if memory services. That'd be tolerable

I'd just like to say "Splitters!!!!!"

Anyhow, back on topic....
Use it if you like it, it's your bike.

Thinking about it... It isn't a scheme reserved for the GSXR by Suzuki anyway. As mentioned above, the GSX came with it on some models and the TLR scheme is a ringer for the same era GSXRs. Both available in blue/white or yellow/black etc.


My way of thinking is, it's a Suzuki scheme. Putting it on a H****, now that's just plain insulting.

Plowsie, give Nick at Liquid Image a ring on 07789 503607, he's local to Northampton - good, solid work and a top man with an airbrush if you're looking for something really special.

He transformed my 'Blade for me (all the 'decals' are actually airbrush work rather than stickers) and has done some cracking race reps too. We had a Monster Mob Blade of his in the showroom for a while at Avonvale Honda.
