Motorcycles Painted in Another Brands Livery

Post by Le_Fromage_Grande »

On Facebook there's an FZ600 in a Pepsi Suzuki colour scheme, 30 years ago I'd have taken the piss and called the owner a twat, now I don't care, if someone owns a bike they can do what they like to it, and if someone doesn't like it, it doesn't matter.

How do you feel about this, do lime green Hondas annoy you, or do you not care?

A few years back I spotted a GSXR750 painted up as an R7 on ebay.

In the schoolboy inter 80 class in the early eighties I ran a Honda CR80 with all white plastics which a lot of people thought was a KTM. Also the Suzuki WEC team was red so I think we’re both justified.

If it's well done,it's fine with me. In general paintjobs are one of the best ways to devalue your bike,but we've all been there!

One thing I dislike is big fat sports/touring bikes with race paintwork,that looks gash,but it doesn't keep me awake at night.

Richard Britten was well known for racing Kawasaki green Suzukis. 8-)
