Mate your bike looks awesome as it is, IMO the belly pan needs to be red to finish the deal but it would also look beautiful in black. I must also add that if I was to respray my bike in total I would be looking at a race rep colour scheme.
P.S A dealer said to me that Hondas in red always sell so he will pay top book on a RED trade in as he is almost guaranteed to shift it.

You could work on the bellypan paint using the red beastie below as inspiration

i.e the HONDA horizontal on dark graphite

The rest of your red paint work looks good and not faded, and best kept original if you ever intend to sell on.

I think it looks fantastic as it is and I'd leave the bellypan black too.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

I apreciate mine was carbon and not black but it will give you an idea of what the colour and a single side rear will look like.
