Quote:Heavy Gray Metallic - U, black paint is applied to the cylinder head cover and the crankcase cover, and low contrast center stripe is applied to the fuel tank, and brown color which reflects the color of the body color of the monotone is adopted as the color of the seat skin. In addition, by applying black painting / alumite processing to each part around the foot such as front and rear suspension and brake caliper, we produce a calm and sophisticated image.

The blue looks great!
However I still prefer the all aluminum motor.
The silver side panels look out of place.
Either blue to match the tank.
Or black to disappear into the frame and seat.

I love these colours
