or Photoshop. The give away is the screen and also the sheer colour.

as for the look, not to my liking, but then I would rather have a black bike with serious performance modifications instead...

The stripes look like a bad attempt at a BMW Rockster.
The green streaks looks like the result of a nervous pillion in an open face helmet.:sick:

Its a zxr250 so if you are talking bout the black stripes they are originaly there, the only change thats done is changing the grey and red into blue

Sorry I take it back, all zxr250's look like bad attempts at Rocksters :niceone:

edit: Or maybe Rocksters are bad attempts to look like zxr250's..

You sound more like those blasted boy racers. Look at a boy racer's car, and it's average to say the least. Hear it try to accelerate, and then you have to laugh, before you wish you had had the time to put a sledge through the bonnet... :angry2:

Oh, and the reason I hate them? I live near Eastern Beach which is popular with the whole lot of them from Auckland on the weekend. Alcohol Bans didn't work, and now the residents on the beach front want cameras. I prefer to smash the lot.

My younger brother would prefer looks any day. I prefer the "dark horse". :cool:

Oh buggery bollocks! I forgot to put the obligatory (PT) in at the end of that.

Why don't you get you neighbourhood watch group to chip in, and buy a tractor to run them over with?

Gremlin

20th April 2005, 01:40

What does the PT stand for... something like joking????

A tractor would be too subtle, and since I actually have savings atm, they would take it all before declaring me bankrupt...

I'm thinking wrecking ball or steamroller or maybe a bulldozer and some big bins... :raghead: :devil2:

Ok here's one for you all...I've just done my ZXR like this, and I LOVE it!!!

I keep going out to the garage and instead of putting the finishing touches on it, I get distracted at how gorgeous it is and just look at it...very sad :msn-wink:

Now ordinarily I'm a subtle kind of guy...I'd prefer a standard looking cage (for example) with unexpected performance, BUT I reckon its better to be a little more visable on a bike!

And this is pretty visable :)

Of course it may not be for everyone but I think it looks great - you think thats bright? You should have seen it without the decals!

subtle yes. but this is beautiful without going over the top

Overall, I think it looks gorgeous. Do you have yellow and black leathers?? What about the helmet??

Gotta be cheaper than actually painting it to see what it'll look like. Good idea.

I like it personally, but the extra designs on it make it a little too busy for me.

Yeah yeah I know...I don't have a digital camera and will have to get one from my Dad's work I suppose.

It is still getting a few touch up pieces done...ie making sure the headlight cowling fits the frame properly without any skewing each way on the fairings (anyone else have this difficulty? Proberly not :) )

Give me a bit of time and I'll post up some photos, I just don't like anyone seeing it half complete...its like going out only half dressed :2thumbsup
