Thank you Honda, heck of a bit a kit ya built with this one! Would love one, unfortunately age has caught up with me and I am unable to tolerate the riding position on super sport bikes, my hands go numb very quickly, even the VFR fitted with risers can be a problem. Enjoy the new ride a new bike always puts a smile on your face. 😃 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just noticed the sign on the wall. A subliminal message about the VFR?😃 Even if it is a covered boat, I still want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MAYBE loosing them bags will make it a "possible"... RWB for me is...... But whatever lights one candle enough to burn some expendable cash..... 🙂 Not my bike, not my favourite either... Plus they forgot to continue the blue/white on the seat cover....... This is an interesting attempt. It's almost right. But they obviously felt constrained by the fairing contours and, I think, made some wrong choices. The red stripe should have continued to narrow as it went above the rear turn signal protrusions, for example (leaving them white). And the blue on the top fairing seems too high at the back. Also not sure why they didn't continue the stripes over the middle fairing vent area? Everyone's a critic! Ciao, JZH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. (Though the idea of riding around on a moving advert for cancer sticks in this day and age does have a certain antisocial appeal!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ericspin 0 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Cruising around and just saw this thread. Damn I love this paint scheme. Are there color codes floating around out there for the red and blue? This may be what I’ve been looking for to make my white ‘14 more appealing to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
