Find someone with a Black bandit and swap the tank+fairings.

Suzuki Bandit red frame black fairings

BUT, if you really want to throw some money away get a set of these.

Twin headlight streetfighter kit - bandit, hornet, etc

Romeo, those are some abso-fucking-lutely hideous lights right there.

I love the single headlight; I feel it helps to define the bike.

Fairings are for pussies Weaver. :P

Think of it as a "streetfighter" look right from stock.

Yep, gotta agree there, cool frame, headers, wheels, the bike just looks great to start with.

I will suggest some red anodised bits like mirrors, levers and pegs, maybe a set of moto X bars, to make it stand out, and a tail tidy if it doesn't have one already.

With mirror indicators

Ride a bigger bike. Then you might think twice about pouring so much money into a 250. But if you do want to put the effort in (they are nice looking bikes admittedly), make sure you don't put too much personality into it which will alienate buyers when you want to trade up, like a purple flame paintjob or something. The best thing about 250's is resale value which will help a great deal when you want a 600.

Ooo, get a TYGA tail!

you should be able to make it fit somehow

Oh, and clean your headers after every ride or two - they look so lovely and shiny, it'd be a sin not to keep them that way!
