Whilst we are on the subject, where do you find the paint code on the bike?

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
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
wezdavo-mine is identical bar pillion grabrail-I have a Renntec rack in (shhh... BLACK) but the black on bike complements the BLUE!
Now what we need is all you owners of BLUE bikes to VOTE!! Don't be Shy :o :rollin :rollin

Everyone knows blue is fastest though :lol
I'd believe it if Rossi said it.

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

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?
