Screw the white ......... you'll be washing it everday and in snowy winter old blue haired Grannies will run you down.

Silver and black is interesting ..........I kinda like that burnt copper/gold and black & silver look myself if going non oem that is

Let me find an example

from the famous Hurricane Fighter Build ......... yeah it's a hurricane believe it or not !

Yeah I'd go the Silver/Black combo, or the tarnished brass and black kinda look that Sprock mentioned. Hell, its your bike... what do you really want on it?

Cheers - boingk

EDIT: Not the exact colours but the overall impression:

Who resprayed their bike a while back? It was a mark1 similar colour to the streetfighter, a sort of burnt orange metalic with a flat black tank, looked really good.

But as said, it's your bike, you've got to live with it and hopefully love it!

From my archives, I've always liked what this guy did to his 1st gen bike.

Hey:

That Metallic Burnt Orange looks hot!



How about something simple like this, for something different add the WEST Race Replica decals.

I m ight be a sentimentalist but for me the combination of red and black are the classic CBR colours (any model) Honda trough the years has always offer a red and black one.
