I have a 95 RS, I guess I would call it fire engine red. A previous owner put two pieces of transparant sticky plastic on top of the tank to protect it. Time and weather has taken it's toll and it is starting to look bad. I figure one day will have to to put the plastic off, figure there will be paint damage when this happens and wil need to be repainted. Now here's the question.

If you had to paint your bike would you stay with the regular factory color or go with a different color or combination?

I am most impressed with Interlagos Blue, but I probably wouldn't paint mine that color because I wouldn't want to be a copy-cat.

If I had more moxy I'd go for Palmetto Green...

or...

Corvette Yellow. Shocked

If I ever re-paint my brick it is going to be Laguna Seca blue...now that I am thinking about it a full restoration and new paint should be in order.

Black is the fastest color, and it's the least conspicuous when riding at a spirited pace.
