    The fairings are kinda stealth fighter looking, so the black suits them.

    However the gold looks like you've bought some flash rims for it.

    I suggest bright green.

    Gold, but it will really need some pinstriping or other feature in the same colour else where to pull it off

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Black, but you need to do the frame as well.

    The gold looks cheap and so very eighties. If you are looking to look cheap and eighties then by all means go for gold. I would choose black.

    Also most have made the point of the Gold needing to be accentuated elsewhere to pull the look off as at the moment all the Gold is on the wheels and nowhere else.
    That's what I was thinking, gold for bling and it's classic 'Prilla but I like the black but a variation like Owl's suggestion would be even better I reckon.
    A nice metallic gunmetal would be sweet and off set the heavyness off the solid black bike.... Or maybe a deep deep dark candy red.

    The black looks mean maori mean, but I choose gold.

    It's an Aprilia mate. The gold is mandatory. And Gini agrees with me too.

    You know mate, can you do the frame gold too.

    Then we can tell everyone its a Futura Factory.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Gold looks the bizz mate. Like some people have said before though, the frame would look cool done too.

    Black. Come on... If you go black you can always put coloured pinstripe tape on them. You cant if you go gold.
    Besides...Black is slimming.
