Is this the best standard paint job on any bike ever?

[VNA]

Going back a few years but I like this.

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

[VNA]

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

[VNA]

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). 

:lol

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

And while I'm on that note.... I may be a tad bias but what a stunning paint job ?? was literally the reason I bought it ?

How can a bike be any more perfect? :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek  I can't think of one thing I would change except for the tyres,just for the legality,fabulous!

[F4celess]

Agreed. Stunning.  :eek 8)


I consider Bikes works of art (cars not so much) and THAT creation of yours Dudeofrude is a perfect example. :thumbup

[Dudeofrude]

Thanks fellas.... she is a beaut

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 ??

[VNA]

I think I need to lie down after seeing that.  My God.

[agricola]

I still love the colour of my old Gixxer, only ever saw one other on the road.

I like that. Never keen on the blue and white, always thought them plain looking, but hey ho thats life

[Frosties]

I always liked simple from the past

[YamFazFan]

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.

[VNA]

Naw that's no right.

[YamFazFan]

That's more like it :thumbup

[coffee]

Didn't know 'til recently a Katana is a Japanese sword,and foccin' gorgeous. :thumbup

[VNA]

Or borught up to date by Scantuary, yum......

[Frosties]

Naw that's no right.

You get my drift though - couldn't find a fookin pic of what i wanted  :lol :lol

[Dudeofrude]

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