Title: Most popular colour for a Fazer 600
Post by: simonm on 17 May 2013, 06:24:40 pm
This is questioned a lot so here is a poll for the FZS 600.

A decisive answer is needed to answer the burning question.  No 'other' option to prevent skewed results ;-)

My first poll so lets see... (I think it's not going to be gold  :lol )

This should probably go in the fazer 600 board but I'm not typing it all in again so maybe an admin can move it.

hint (not my bike, mine has a stylish dent in the fuel tank as well as other signs of a learner):(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Yamaha_Fazer_FZS6005DM1_Fa.jpg)

they all look good-it was the silver Foxeye that caught my attention in 2002 when a guy at work bought a new one...However... I am very attached to my 03 Deep Purple Blue Metallic as its well known to be the fastest by those who own them! :lol

Yes noggy.......You have the only one in the village! Seriously though your bike is looking very nice with those posh hoses etc. Mine will eventually be as tidy/shiny as my "Big Red". The 600  is a one previous owner bike but he only ever cleaned the top bits! Have done all the basics but will be replacing downpipes/collector box with stainless & a nice end can to finish it off. The braided hoses are on now & looking good. Will remove rad in winter & will replace all hoses then. I have found a local supplier of silicon hoses so will prob go for blue like yours as they are faster! :lol :lol

Black rules. It matchs the frame, engine, seat, side panels and wheels much better.

That's not much of a contrast though is it?  I wrote like the idea of two or three colours which show the flow or contours through the bike.  We all know black's a PITA to keep clean too  :'(.  I did think DPBMC would do better but I guess there are more of the older bikes around than the precursors to the fz's. There is still time for DPBMC to win though :-P

Well, thank God he's not on a red bike any more!!  :lol :lol

As for black bikes, I have 2 words: Cal Crutchlow. He's on a satellite bike, yet he's whupping quite a few of the factory teams! Beat that, blue boys!  :b :rollin

If you take all the colours of the fastest bikes and mix them together do you get black ?

That's what black does to my eyes. Also the aluminum parts and engine fins are more noted.
The mosquitos on black add personality too. They look more dirty because in fact they were smashed at higher speed with black bikes.

Did you know this 400 design?

...in fact so fast looks like you lost your rear mudguard in the slipstream ;) 
 
Well I like  dpm blue cos i got one, but my vote goes to the red white & black ones.
Which is that in the list please?

I preferred my red 600 to my blue one, but I thought the poll was for what people own :\

I really like the dark red and black combo on the thous - seems really rare but if I was to get one, its the colour scheme I'd look out for :)
Title: Re: Most popular colour for a Fazer 600
Post by: 69oldskool on 19 May 2013, 07:52:38 pm
Yep, Defo the best thou colour. :)  "lava red" i think.

If we are talking thous then my preference is Lava Red (my own bikes colour)

Vrc1 I think.  Look at my link above (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,34.0.html (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,34.0.html)) I think yours is a first gen if it's on a T plate.

I think that's DRYC1 - there were two reds for the Fazers, the Deeper one was nicer imo and was the colour of my old Fazer like yours :)

I'm pretty sure dryc1 is gold...somewhat confusingly.  Check out the link.

Ah yeah, I see the colour names mentioned above now

In that case, VRC7 is the deep red and VRC1 is the lighter red as mine was a '99 and the darker colour
