That has the looks of the new R1 about it, or probably vice versa would be a better description. I think you should go with something original based on the styles you like. Maybe mock up a few on photoshop to get a feel for them. A nod to an 80s cigarette sponsor would be good too.
A couple of key points on the design are that there should be a diagonal movement starting at caliber level and moving through the bike to the end of the seat unit to give the effect of speed and stance. You should also do with this to sharpen up the lumpy and droopy seat unit. Speed blocks that decrease in size fro t to back would be good. And take the dominant colour to the front mudguard and do this in one colour only from the side.

Can you say "Ken Dodds dads dog died" over and over without fluffing?

Also this. If you paint it in any other scheme, I'll come round, steal it and repaint it anyway. So just save yourself the hassle. Edited by Yazza54 on Friday 4th September 07:49

would look better with black wheels and I'm not having them re done. Same with the frame, really needs to be black and mines bare.
Dunno what colour your wheels are, but bare frame -Yazza54 said:
Whilst it looks great on that particular bike I don't think it would suit the later bubble style fairings
Better ?
If that ain't to ya taste, some more -
