Such a tolerant bunch around here

if you have an orange bike this thread hates you. You and your bike can GTFO!

It's the lines of the bike that make me not-really-like it - it's very aggressive, blocky, hard, and somewhat inelegant in its execution.

Funny how all of those features are what make me think that the RC8 looks awesome!

Hmmm, that's a tempting offer right there... but Tracey would kill me if I ditched Suzuki for takoyaki!

Make that 2x takoyaki

nope only the K7 came in blue/black, since it has only been all black or the blue/white options for having blue or black... its such an awesome colour i don't know why they would not have it every year, but quite pleased they haven't. although recently they brought out blue/grey which looks pretty good!

That blue/black scheme looks great. Wanpo and I have been eyeing up lots of bikes here in Sydney, "oi, that one looks like Tracey's." Definitely a stand-out compared to the standard blue/white paint of the others.

Better recognise its hot! ... it's way better than the blue/white! I knew what I wanted the second i saw it! I mean who wants to blend in with the crowd?!

so sounds like you have having a really hard time over there... eating out and checking out bikes!

Suzuki riders that don't want to blend in with the crowd?

I'm not convinced by the blue/grey - it looks okay, but not as interesting or striking as the blue/black, or the classic blue/white. The K10 has the navy/white scheme, which is quite nice, if vaguely unfinished-looking. If anything, I'd go for the classic blue/white.

To be honest, I thought your paint scheme was a well done custom jobbie.

It's a hard life, but somebody's got to do it.

I'm sorry... who was the only non-honda rider present in the group on monday? I'd say that isn't blending in with the crowd!

yeah well the blue/grey was a after thought, but i still think I like it better than the blue/white... cause everyone has the blue/white! Although i LOVED the all white 600 (think it was K9) that was freaking HOT!

Yep, its just that awesome! but that is a thought, I could always change the colour scheme after getting a new one, cause we have a guy that paints up our bikes back home and does a mint job!

and yeah I'm sure you are suffering big time!

Sounds like you are trying to release your inner ghey. Have you ridden a Honda recently? Botany Honda should look after you!

Although on Monday you did seem pretty keen to take Cammy for a spin. I very much doubt youd say no given the offer.

**wanpo** · 14th April 2011, 15:23

Yeah Cammy; from street fighter.
Cus she's hot and has a small ass.

Also, objectively, GW is already half way to the dark side; he's got a Honda in his garage
