As you know, I recently purchased an 06 GSX-R 600. I love it, and have had only a couple problems, neither of which really affects much. Unfortunately, the bike is red and black. If it weren't for the deal I got, I wouldn't have bought the red and black one. So, this winter, while it's off the road, it's getting retuned, new tires, and new paint. I decided that I want paint from one of the 08 color schemes, only problem, is I like all but the blue. So I need a few opinions. Here's some pictures, in the order of what I like the most to least, and what model it's from.
I don't know which I like better, they are pretty much the same, only the vinyl's on the side that say "GSXR" and have those lines are blue. I took mine off anyway, and planned on getting vinyls that's just the letters, with no lines behind it. I also haven't seen a 1000 in person, but the white of the 600 has a sort of pearl flake in it, which would probably get more expensive than I'd like to go, so I'll probably just go white and silver.
I have always loved that sort of burnt orange color. Again, the GSX-R is gone from the side. This is nice because my black paint is still fresh, and wouldn't need painted, unlike the whites above.
I obviously like the black ones, 600, 750, and 1000 alike, since they're the same. It would be very easy to have everything painted black. I just don't know if it's too much black, you know? It's not necessarily my least favorite either, and it's probably the cheapest. If I did go with the black though, I may have my rims powder coated a gold color, like the color of eg6sir's tutorial on painting a valve cover.
I don't like the yellow 600 a single bit.
I don't care for any of the blues, a single bit.
So that's where I am. If I go white, I may also just go completely white, with no silver, the rims would stay black, with the intention that I would get the black GSXR vinyl for the side. I'll probably leave the side bare untill I sell it, but you know.
