They usually have both wheels the same colour, but as Kath & Kim would say "Looks Noice, yeah its noice". Think someone has gone to a bit of trouble to coordinate the colours, either that or pranged the front severely & had it replaced. Bike looks good, how many kays?

Just had a better look at your pic & they have had the forks painted white, so got the white rim to match. Fronts fork are usually just metal with a clear finish. Good thing they don't have gravel or pot holes in Melbourne eh! (or they could get dirty)

Red white and blue (even forks and wheels), someone patriotic painted it.

^^^Lmao, it'sa Euro bike!

Nuts, looks great! I love those colors and I wish they sold them here... only makes sense with the color and all. Can't understand why they never did it.

And enough with the Aussie speak lest you point us to some translation guide so we can laugh too! I wanna go so badly I can taste it. No really, what's that taste...

It looks factory to me. they did do some special paint options on these bikes. The smokin' joes was probably the most noted one for mismatched wheel colors, but there were others, like the one pictured below. this was a factory color scheme.

i reckon it looks great, the forks have honda decals running down it and it looks likethey havebeen on there for a while, original. i only just bought it 2 days ago for a VERY, VERYgood price, and pacemaker don't worry when i got the bike i actually thought the front rim was black it was that bad.hey KidCr3nshaw and what you can taste is definately coming from here but you'll have to come down to find out what it is....
