Its a new 2001 model, but I never liked the messy decals, especially the 'lightning bolts'. So I removed the stickers on the rear seat couling, the stickers on the side of the fairings and the ones on the front by the lights. Then I painted the side vents blue and the bellypan blue.

Whats the verdict?

Here is the link to the site as I cant seem to post the things here.

Scott,

Sorry but not my cup of tea the bike somehow looks 'boring' now and lacks the race-rep look.

Hey though if you like it what does it matter!!

No worries. I like it anyway. Though I must admit that it doesnt look nearly as good in the pics as it does in the flesh.
Hey, it does look good with the red though..... bugger!
Hey Geo, how the heck do you post the actual pic on the site?

the 5th button from the left, if you hold the arrow over it it says insert image.
Click and follow instructions, the problem is that the biggest pix it will accept is only 101kb, I had to trim your pix 3 times grrrrrrr.

The bike in one solid color looks a bit heavier than it is, what with all that plastic. The red sets off the "french racing" blue nicely, you can play in photoshop ahead of time (like I did) to decide on a pattern.
Using Silver instead of red would look classier in the flesh but it won't show all that well on the picture.
