Not really a fan of bikes in the same colours as sales reps so black and grey aren't really something I want but I also don't want a bike to look like an early 90s charvers shellsuit so tigerstripe blades and some GSXRS from around that era are out.

I do like my ghastly green Kawasaki and my 89 Slingshot though, also there have been some sbsolutely classic R1 paintjobs for a few years.

Basically I don't like boring at one end of the spectrum and technopuke at the other.
