What color should I paint my bike (with pic)





What color should I paint my bike, I was thinking black, but what do you guys think, just paint the rear or the whole bike? What color would look good on the bike?

color

I like the colors on your bike, except for the flame on the side.
I would have only painted the side panels the same red as the rest.

I'm no fan of mat or satin black.

I agree with skip_200gy.I would paint the white panel red to match the rest,then maybe remove the 5 star strip.

Riders choice as color goes....I'd say whatever color makes you happy but have to agree that the flame stickers have a bit of an eyesore problem...IMHO...I chose charcoal and gloss black for my Bird but those are a favorite color and the price of the paint ( free ) was worth the sanding time.

What's the story with the Kawasaki in the background? Is it broken?
