Best paint scheme ideas ?

Bucko · Post by **Bucko** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 11:01 pm

Has anyone got any thoughts on what the best colour scheme would be for my TRX which has a black frame, wheels and YZF arm/wheel and polished R1 forks . I have a Harris bellypan, single seat cowl, blue spots, 2-1 projection system, LSL rearsets and FZR400 light to be fitted and really don't know which route to take , race rep or a simple understated Kayla style , pearl white job. I know its " only paint " but I want to get it right , thanks Bucko.

Go Commando and do camouflaged style

That sound ok right now , but im just finishing off my 6th Kronenbourg while watching Sounds of the 80s on the BBC , so it may not be as appealing tomorrow morning !

Yamaha speed blocks for race rep, a custom paint variation on the standard yamaha red black would be nice - for me the best standard colour - I will keep my colour choice to myself as it is to the best of myknowledge unique

It is a custom paint job. Looks like it is inspired on the R6 and R1 colors from the late 90's and early '00's. Nicely done! Although the yellow should be red.

Speed blocks and race rep like Valencia 2005 style has been done a lot - inclusing myself (for my trackday fairing)

On the road mine looks like this.

Based on FZR600 from early 90's.

"Simple things are often best" is my MOTO...

Ultimately, what ever floats your boat!

That's a great paint design Tarwetijger. One of the best I've seen. Works very well for the TRX shape.

These are the new R1 schemes.

Nice tail on the R1 .. Pefer that to the bent spoon look of the earlier R6 that a lot seem to convert to.

Exception to that was "willy the honk"? or whatever his name was, who had an R6 tail that looked mint - let it also be said that it was also a very nice paint scheme. In fact no bones about it, it was a very sorted TRX.
