Default BLACK OR SLIVER frame which is best???

I have for some reason thought i make a thread for people who own either sv650 curvy or pointy about frame colour. now if your like me you like to look at other peoples bike and always think it looks better than yours, or yours looks better than theres but you close page fast before you change your mind. But sometimes the other difference between the bikes is the frame colour.........

yet frame and wheel colour changes how entire bike looks. so i have made a thread for people to put up pictures of their bikes (SV650s, SV650 only) any year. and tell their opinion.

if you had the money to change the colour of frame would it be.........


BLACK OR SLIVER FRAME???????? (or other colour for special people)




here are my two bikes and i personally prefer black frame with rim tape. But a clean sliver frame and wheels looks amazing in pictures and when its in front of you.








what is your opinion???????????? BLACK OR SILVER FRAME

I quite like the look of curvy with matt/satin black coated frame, especially with swingarm matching.

frame colour is a matter of personal preference and has been pointed out just a part of the whole look of a bike , however the style and craftmanship shine though in certain examples, the curvy frame much like the original T5 frames is a lovely thing, as are most of the tubular steel frams out there, the pressed out/ cast and extruded examples generally used are far less appealling IMO.

Cheers Mark.
