Or do you have a secrete desire for kawas?

He painted it. Then spent ages denying similarities with kawasakis, until he almost got onto a kawasaki mistaking it for his own bike.

Now he finally accepts what we have been saying all along.

However the boomerang style decal under the R is very hard to come by and I am yet to find anywhere that will reproduce them. That would leave it looking similar to photo 1.
Or I could paint it as is and it would look like photo three

I'm fairly limited due to the color of the wheels, but I like them anyway so they won't be changed. Anyone got any other ideas?

I like the 2nd one, so sexy, even tho im not a fan of suzuki but i like it.

Looks good blue pic3 etc... what about getting someone to air brush the decals etc on, make then your own to add just other little bit of personal touch?

I like them all, but I think photo 3 looks fantastic - I love the blue wheels - I love the whole thing, I want one........

dammit its so pretty.

I don't like the third one, looks like a half finished race bike IMHO.

Black with a red trim maybe??

or Pink as Gremlin said.

Too much white. Hone agrees with me.

I hadn't thought of that and I do know someone that does some really cool work, but don't want to make anything to personalised incase I go bankrupt and need to sell haha

Yeah I've had this bike awhile so I'm excited that it will be ready in time for summer

Yeah, I'd probably have to agree with you there to be honest, I think it is made worse by the fact it is white so looks a lot like a blank canvas.

I love Black and Red but couldn't bring myself to paint the rims as they really are my favourite part of the bike.
Pink might have suited my old Honda?

Opinion seems to be fairly split and I know at the end of the day it only matters what I think. I spose I am just going to have to make a decision that I am comfortable with...

Number two is giving me a horn on. Do it.
