Time for a respray...

Post by MacV2 »

The new 2013 Repsol Honda paint job.

Methinks some owners will now need an update... :lol:

I think the fairing looks good but the side panel seat unit just looks WRONG !

Never a fan of the Repsol colours. Shame the Castrol and Rothmans colours schemes are no more.

your right about the fugly seat units though.

I love it!

Clean, fresh, intriguing and the signature wing reference I think helps accentuate the heart of the beast. :clap: In a while compare to the old scheme and this will date it I reckon.

I'm planning on using the wing abstract for the Storm one day so may be looking at through biased eyes 8O

Seb will be happy as he can duplicate the new scheme on his storm beastie with some black gaffer tape rather get his tank repainted.

Though by the end of it his bike will begin to dazzle....

Looks allright, not much different from the old version. I agree the tail looks a bit odd. It's the black lines, get rid of them and it would look better.

Well OK there is a slight difference. Swap the lower fairing for White and reverse the angle of the text. Then move the Black stripes on the tank to the tail. But at first glance there is not much difference because the colours are the same. :lol:

I do like it but seeing the new next to the old does make the old one look the better of the two, new one looks like half a jap flag with Repsol splashed across it too

Still like it though.
