He obviously has great taste, just like me

He'd be the first to agree.

The jellymould CBR600 "Benneton"
The green seat provides a particularly powerful counterpoint to the pink wheels, I think.
The CBR600F2 version was marginally better, if only because the seat was black

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
Even the blue version was fugly.
Sadly, it was launched in the uk at the bike show where Norton launched their F1, making it look even worse.
Even bland can be a type of character

While looking for a picture of that I found an article entitled "The BMW K1 might be the most 90s thing that ever happened"

Urban Tiger Fireblade.
I'm on the fence. It's kinda cool, but there's sooo much brown.

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
I do like it, but I don't spaff my pants over it like Fireblade nuts do. The Cadbury one is much nicer.

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
The whole top of the tank is brown, when you sit on one, all you see is brown!

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
One of the best Blade colour schemes was on the 954. In the UK we got a yellow/blue, black/red and a white/blue, etc... but in the land of the free they got a graphite/black one, which irl looks so much better than the European schemes.
The Septics don't always get it better tho', they got a Yellow RRW...

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
The blue/white 954 is probably my favourite Japanese sportsbike. I like that yellow RRW too but it also reminds me too much of a VFR.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:13 pm One of the best Blade colour schemes was on the 954.

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
I've already done the Blade thing, but mine was a slightly nicer colour...

The official Honda colour name for the purple on mine was Uranus Purple.

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
That ^^^^ is what a FIreblade is in my head. Well that or the aforementioned White/Blue 954. But if you say Fireblade that's generally the bike I picture.
When did they stop calling it the Fireblade anyway? That's so much better than "CBR1000RR".

Re: Terrible Factory Paint Jobs
Why is it always Suzuki GSXRs?
I don't think it was a UK colour way, but it's defo a factory job.
