Yeah I thought the original FZ750 looked great with the half fairing showing off the forward canted engine wi the gold covers.

Oh yeah RGV250s
They started off with nice paint jobs like this......

Was it rave culture that did the damage?  Too many eccies?  But somebody thought this was a good idea.......

:lol They all went that way for a little while. I never liked that 'flung paint' look. In the end it was only the colour schemes that put me off having one of the new KLX 650's in 1993.
Seeing what a limited range of trail bikes are available now I'd happily have one, bonkers graphics or not :lol

Yeah I mean sure they look even worse now, but even then a lot of us were thinking - what the foc is going on.
I reckon the GSX1100R nicely sums up the early 90's.  A real man's bike, in shite colours, which in reality would be wasted by a well ridden CBR600F (possible in equally repugnant colours).

It looks like they printed a book full of just the outlines and got a load of kids to colour them in :lol

But on the subject of lairy paint jobs, let's not forgot our good friends at Suzuki when they teamed up with Corona for the SRAD ??

Re: Is this the best standard paint job on any bike ever? - YamFazFan - 04-12-19

Some of that Katana isn't standard though is it?. I'm pretty sure they never came with a belly pan and that rear bodywork is aftermarket I reckon.

It's not standard and I certainly wouldnt describe it as the best but it's certainly interesting
