Can't say it's the best paint job I have ever seen, but if the bike is nice then I'm sure you could live with it.

Get some hot pink pinstriping (no, I'm not making fun) and outline the flames (good color, used a lot by hot rodders).

It's not a bad paint job, just never finished!

Looks nice though. What is it?

95 cbr f3 got some nice goodies on it too. I can deal with the yellow against black but I hate purple!

I like the green on the wheels, but i say paint the shell black. It would look sinister.

Tino, who the hell cares what anyone else thinks? If you like it, go for it. I get jealous of the slackjawed idiots I see riding retarded bikes around, just because they're on a bike and I'm in a car. If you like it, go for it bro.

Did you ever sell your s13?

doesn't look too bad, kinda 90's style though...

me, I'd get the wheels powder coated red and the bike painted black....maybe some red graphics.

or go with Corvette Yellow and Black:drooling

but then again, it'd probably be easier to get a different bike...

well ladies, I think its a go, 1995 Honda CBR excellent condition many extras, 33k miles, (custom paint*cough*) maintained well. Only problem is the cam tightener needs to be tightened and if you ask me a paint job, 2,800 $$.

Go for it Bro?Hell no?

Purple seems to be the most common color/abuse ...



For a GREAT deal some things are worth putting up with.
