Both look good. Toss a coin and let fate decide.

A friend of mine owns one in glossy black - really , really good looking bike. I would go for that option if I was you Biff...

Matt Biff, Matt, means you can easily hide it in the event of a war

I like gloss black which is why I bought a bike that colour.

You do need to keep your chamois (sp?) handy tho. be

Yes it would be less likely to attract radar/laser....... pitty they aim at the head light

Matt looks bloody nice, its differant but bloody hard to keep looking new, I know a guy with the matt VTR and its so hard to clean/not damage............ so Gloss is my vote.

Matt - because you're never wrong Biff

or you could be like all the other pretty boys and their bikes and go gloss

Just cos theres no paint left on the XJ to polish up.... just rust and cow shit...... not the same realy is it

You can clearcoat matt,you add a flatting base,but it'll go milky if you use too much.....
Personally,on something as big as a beakbird,I'd go with gloss.

Actually, which slides better?

You know I said sometimes I don't like you? Make that most of the time

Hang on, that jibe can't be aimed at me, cos my Bird somersaults!

I'd go for gloss - the "black mirror" look. I'd also get custom detailing in gold - black and gold looks great - possibly a thin stripe parallel to the edges of the fairings, mudguard, round the tank etc.

now that would be cool - go all out and spend more than the bikes worth and get it fully stealthed out...... the mil-spec coatings and all

short of that i'd go with the gloss as a good clean and it will look mint as!! its really hard to keep a nice finish on the matt and it shows up any tiny imperfection, gloss makes it look like they are supposed to be there!?!

mmmm shiny............ chrome stikery flames would look cool, that dude on trade me does them specially for bikes....

**Riff Raff** · 25th March 2005, 11:45

I think you should go for multicoloured stripes - just like my socks!!!

Could be worse,could be one of those bikes thats runs out of gas cause the riders to dumb to top up the tank

The "choice" of colour scheme question surely is academic until you know whether or not your insurer is going to write said bird off? If its arse is as unaligned as your earlier posts suggest, I think you'll find the bird may be going to that great aviary in the sky...
