Do white front...then as you go back airbrush fade to yellow, orange, red, blue...like you're MACH 8 re-entering the atmosphere.

Simply asking for any ideas is a very difficult thing, and a big ask. Narrow it down for us so we have an idea of where to start. What colors do you like? What type of design are you going for? (aggressive, soft, angular, stripes, etc. etc.)

thats the problem fox i dont really know. I love the agressive look of dark colors but I want to go more than just black. I was toying with the idea of Gray (Mazda RX-8) and black/carbon accents and maybe even the blackhonda tribal decalsbut I cant picture it enough to really go for it. My original idea was jet black or flat black but that just seems too common, although hot. So the theme is dark I guess but I can't direct you any more than that

I was going to mention flat black, or stain black, but thought you were looking for something "more". I think all black is a GREAT look for a sportbike!

i think a fade from black to silver would look cool...or the other way around. are you looking for some type of graphics?? or just straight color

Darker colors would be best if your riding it on the streetsas the brighter colors tend to stick out more resulting in more pull-overs and expensive tickets...even if your riding in a group, the cops always seem to nab the brightest bike because it sticks out and it's what they see first.

In my opinion, solid colors look better on a bike. All black does look sweet, but it seems every other bike is all black now. How about a forest green or something? Two tone bikes when blended look pretty sweet also.

Also, the new white Honda bikes look sweet...a friend of mine is painting his Corrado this new color called "Burning Ice" it's a white with metal flakes in it and I bet that would look real sweet, but it's expensive.

(I googled "Burning Ice" to try to include a link and what I found was NOT what I was talking about, i.e. it's not a "chameleon color." If your interested, I can ask my boy for some info)
