heres a pic of my ride that has just arrived from the uk.
It took a fall just before it left and i managed to to repair it
with parts from ebay.
The problem is i now need to paint it and dont know whether
to go with the original blue or change it to red to match the fairing.

Red is faster . Seriously though, that's a nice bike. What about black - would look nice with the silver/grey of the frame?

without question. green. end of story. bills in the mail

Would look stunning black with gold pin stiping.

Nah, green shows up the dirt.

Bugger- I thought you wouldn't see this topic.
I was going to say don't ask Cowboyz.....
Of course the only choice is Midnight Black.

Just an idea I stole But black is better

pay no attention to this philistine

that blue is quite nice, i'd stick with it

What does this chap know he rides a Honda.......................

exactly, i have class AND culture, imagine if I owned like, seven or eight of them!?! then i'd be a real connoisseur!

Blue. Brings to mind a few songs...sad, moody, glum, down and out... damn no fast, quick, exhilirating. Nope. Not blue.

Now what about this maybe

Pink...You'ld pick up all the chicks

and half the honda riders.

Without question LIQUID SILVER or black.

roger_doger had black with the red frame, looked good, don't think i've ever seen the silver frame in nz, but would probably look good with black

or BLUE!

Actually Liquid Silver with a blue frame would be outstanding!

+ blue rims

Ah yes, mus'nt forget da rims.

Its only just gone back together after a complete engine rebuild and i aint
buggering about stripping it again to paint the frame.
Hmmm lets see what we've got,
a honda rider says blue so thats out (plus it would be the hardest to do )
Kawaski's () are green and it would be secreligious.
Orange is ktm. . . . . . . nahhhhh.
Black is sexy, (so the wife tells me )
Red is fast,
Red with a white stripe is faster.

A truely discerning gentleman this is obvious.

Your wife has fantastic taste and you know you should listen to her.

Your wife and Monamie are right and you should go for black. Also if you scratch or damage it in the future (heaven forbid), it'll be an easier fix.

Research has shown that red motocycles get pulled up more than any other colour. Red must be faster.

Must be true. Came from KB site.

(From a black bike rider) Black shows the scratches and swirls more.

Minor trade-off when you're talking kick ass cool!!!

Whoa, respect! We better listen to that lot

How about you paint it 'Hyosung Pearly Red'
You would be the coolest guy out there

I'm thinking of this kinda thing

What thing?

its true what they say about men with black things between their legs y'know

Covering it in little white squares with red crosses in them

I just got back from the spray shop with a quote, $1000
I can buy a compressor and spray gun for much less than that
bugger it up half a dozen times and still have change left over.

Not only do you have the spare change, but you also have the compressor and spray gun to paint other peoples bikes rather than just a pretty bike from the spray shop

Doesn't quite work that way dude, but good luck!

being non ethnically challenged I can honestly say, I've never had a black thing between my legs. but There's always a first time.

i think our flatmate has a compressor and a spray gun??
he did all his own paintwork on his gsxr thou, and i dont particularly like the colours, but the quality's decent

there is a doctor just up the road

Red, perhaps with some updated graphics? Like the traditional white on black Yamaha Corporate chevron theme or perhaps something along the lines of the Sandisk SBK rides of Nitro Noriyuki Haga and Troy Corser? Still red.

But whatever YOU do YOU have to like it every time you walk out the the garage.

BTW, Green bikes come last.

whats wrong with coming last? Sure it takes a hit on the ego but the scenery can be good. (depending on who you ride with)
