Colour schemes

Post by Kev L »

Anyone still got their bike in Honda Castrol racing colours? Congratulations, seems like you are back in fashion with a bang!

Who says race paint schemes age a bike!!!! :beer:

Just to provoke a little friendly discussion (assuming you consider it interesting enough!) what are your favourite race paints- Rothman, lucky strike, Marlborough. I think mine would be the classic MV Agusta & the Rothmans on Gardners highsiding Honda from THAT picture. Anyone else got an opinion?
Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero
F3, 954 USD front, K Tech springs, Braced swinger, Ohlins shock, Six spoke Mockesini wheels, Harris rearsets, QaT, Flywheel diet!, A&L stacks, stick coils, K&N, FP Ti jets, Mori pipe's [colour]

obviously a joint marketing ploy to promote the 2 stroke fireblade :roll:

Castrol with Ten Kate :D
Sounds like it could be a very good year for them :D
I guess they hired Ruben because they've got a lot of spare bikes they haven't crash tested yet :wink:

You wait- sooner or later it'll be standard on a road bike with active suspension.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
