New colour for bike.

hmmm hey marknz do you know the exact colour code for that awsome colour methinks i like

[Coldkiwi]

mate, I reckon the honda would suit a nice flame red. Similar to the VTR's colour and maybe some white (FACTORY) stickers. its nice and visible without being yellow plus its a genuine colour (as opposed to that super sexy lime green which would make it look like a sheep in wolfs clothing!)

[SPman]

I've heard that Pink is very nice.............

[LED]

matt black?

someone with taste- matt black.

However its my opinion that the decals ruin it dude.

If you want a change, Red?

[aff-man]

yip it's looking like honda red (the one they use for the vtr sp1 ..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm sp1) so yeh i'll see. Gotta wait for my bike to come back though..



P.s. does anyone have a lot of old sheets they want to part with for a small fee. Or know where i can get some. Gonna be turning my garage into a sprayroom (yes with ventalation) so i can get it done no matter what the weather is like

[SuperDave]

Get it done the same colour as the red 05 ZX6R - Magma red is it? That looks great

[Coyote]

Fluro Red!!! That's bound to get ya noticed

[Coldkiwi]

mm, yes, that nice magma red on the ZX6R's is very easy on the eyes! But, its not Honda red, and frankly I think Affmans CBR needs to get its identity back after wearing a funny form of drag for the last few years

There are actually several reds used on Hondas. The one on the VTR1000 was called "Italian Red", but there's also a metallic red used by Honda, and probably others too. I had a list of Honda colours somewheres but I can't remember where exactly....

It's on an Aussie website somewhere... I'll go hunt it down and let you know when I find it. Either that or you could call in to a Honda dealer and they should be able to tell you.

Cheers man. What do you think of red though. Like a nice deep (yet still bright) red. Thinking of going away from the deep solours. And well i really want to get a bike with a pillion seat so i will maybe be selling at the end of the year so i think a brighter colour would be more appealing or something?
