As people have been said ... looks like a track bike thats been crashed and then fitted with non-painted fairings.
If he'd have done it red or black it'd have looked much better!

(not saying the old R1's are not decent, but you get what i mean.

(not saying the old R1's are not decent, but you get what i mean. )I think if you see it in real life it looks much better as the paint is ace and itssort of a pearl white.
the reason he changed from the honda colours is exactly for that reason
he bought it with that theme.Seems to be a balance of likes and dislikes

i have a feeling he might have got rep fairings on it but is that as bad as having a re shell'd rs500?
i only want a bike to go fast.... not too bothered on the history

Looks shite if you ask me !!!
Just like something thats been down the road and repaired with cheapo race fairings, paint job doesn't even look like its got a shine to it !!
Not a good move in my opinion and looked better with the first colour scheme, even if it was a Honda theme !!!!
