I think black frame always makes them look younger and brings them up to date, So black for me

I like the way this is going

Polished IMHO looks good but maybe not on a sports tourer.

I've got to build up the courage to strip the whole bike and send the frame and swingarm off to the powder coat people .I will get to ride the bike soon promise

A chap on the facebook group is making moulds, to produce carbon frame covers. He is currently producing engine covers. Pure carbon or gloss finish £58 delivered to uk. He may have frame covers before christmas. There is a post running. I will let you know when pictures are available

Leave it as it is it looks great, Rothmans bikes didn't have black frames.

I agree with Popkat, leave it as it is, it does look great

I personally don't think a black frame will work with your colour scheme,

Chris.

Leave the frame as is but paint the wheels white

Please leave your frame in its glorious original silver polished alloy finish
Honda really excelled when they produced these frames ... the amount of
admirers I have looking at the VTR frame are incredulous they cannot get over its finish and
looks and... yes I have to agree ... keep metallic. do not have your black painted
blow over ( I nearly said something else ) have a nice one

I'm quite a fan of satin-black frames on the VTR, really want mine doing.
In this case, whilst it looks good I'm not sure it really suits for the era of the paint job...

EDIT: changed my mind, I like it!
