    Should I paint my Ninja EX250 white?

    hi lads, have a wee new model ninja, she's currently standard green with black rims with green rimtape.
    Now i bought the bike with very minor cosmetic damage and some of her is going to need a lick of paint and im sorta thinking if im going to that bother maybe i should go the whole hog and in a non-standard colour....white.

    Heres a shit photoshop to give you the idea, what would your opinions be?

    It looks good. It will be distinctive and you'll be glad you did it.

    I too have a hog - and it's white.

    Good choice of colour.

    maybe a black front guard and a couple of accents would help it out
