Default Need inspiration for paint

So I'm planning on repainting my bike a little sooner than planned. Over the winter I was going to repaint my race fairings and do a headlight conversion (2 round lights) and use them as my street/track fairings. They are so much easier to disassemble than the stock ones. Anyways yesterday on a group ride we were hauling it down the interstate (about 150mph or so, yeah yeah I know it was crazy, won't do it again) and when I changed lanes the wind caught my right lower fairing just right and just tore it off the bike. Needless to say I won't be using stock fairings anymore lol. So I'm trying to find a color combo that looks great but simple at the same time. I really really like the repsol paint scheme that I saw on this guys F3 (check the F3 pic thread). Its absolutely beautiful. I like the repsol theme but everybody seems to have it. I kinda wanted something with to match my helmet though which has blue, black, red and white in it. I will try to post a pic of the helmet bc its badass and great colors for a bike. Anyways so post up, I need some inspiration. Thanks!

WOT and hang on for dear life lol

That was at redline in 6th gear so thats all it would do. Not sure if the full Micron and jet kits helped any but maybe that could be it

My F2 wouldn't hit 150 if I pushed it off a cliff.

Go to MotoGP.com and check out the pics, tons of inspiration there....and umbrella girls.

Mine wouldn't either. When the F3 came out, the motorcycle mags all said that the F2 couldn't even peg the rev-limiter in 6th gear. That's assuming stock, though.

Sorry to get off topic......blue,red,white,and black.......hmmmm.........how patriotic are you?

just beacuse your speedo says it doesn't mean you're really doing it. Most get off at higher speeds. But I have always liked red and white bikes.

I think white bikes looks awsome. Some type of white/red/black combo would be great.

I've been toying with the idea of painting mine all white with a few black Honda decals. With the F2's white wheels, I think that'd be sharp. Does anyone have this scheme?

Its stock minus a jet kit and some sprocket changes as far as the engine goes. It was 150, the guy next to me was doing the same. Without getting all political and stuff I guess I'm patriotic but not the paint red white and blue stars all over my bike lol

here is my helmet
