Tiutis Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Looks good.I like bronze better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudolea Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If it'd have to be anything else than bronze, I'd take pearl white (for this pearl white bike) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuelx Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I could live with any of the three (bronze, black, or white) but what I'd personally really like would be to install the wheels from a newer CB1000R... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VifferJ Posted August 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2019 I really like the oem bronze color, but I'm also a huge fan of non-standard color wheels, I saw a red set that somebody did on here with a white gen8, looked sharp!

Member Contributer Bent Posted August 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2019 Bronze is fine with me. Doesn't show dirt well and I'm not anal about keeping wheels clean anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mello dude Posted August 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2019 +1 on Bronze for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted August 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2019 Personally I prefer the Bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer adkfinn Posted August 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2019 I like the bronze of the 8th Gen a lot. In fact, I would like to have bronze wheels on my red 5th gen. Funny how we tend to want something different than what came as factory. If they all came with white wheels how many folks would be painting them black? My guess is quite a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted August 17, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 17, 2019 Black is awesome. Do it! I have black Marchesini wheels on my 5th gen. Had white on my 86 vfr 700. What a pain to clean but they do look sporty. I really loved the electric blue rims on my 07 Tuono. Think it may rock with the white 8th gen. https://images.app.goo.gl/SpDgqr1G5XGm1msA7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Lorne Posted August 18, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 18, 2019 I will never understand why some folk like black wheels. For example, here are three tricolore VTec VFRs, each with different coloured wheels. The one with black wheels looks, imnsho, just looks dull by comparison.

I think all three colors look good on that white 8th gen, not so much on the RWB - but to each their own. For me, "tame" is relative on a bike with flashy metallic stripes and (in my case) a gutted exhaust. Anyway, I like the black wheels on my RWB mainly because i'd rather ride than clean.

fatshoutybloke Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Bronze is just fine for me. After living with two of these for 18 years I'll never have white wheels again until I'm not riding to work every day. They only ever looked clean when I'd just washed it, as soon as it dried they were accumulating grime again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black wheels are for those that ride as opposed to those that clean and polish in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
