If you could choose any colour of bike what would it be?

Any chance that I can ask if you can do a few different oranges. Cheeky git that I am

If you cant wait for a test ride, just had a mail from Spyder club who have taken delivery of their Ace.

I hired a bike from them for my euro trip and got good service from them so recommended from me.

They did 1 day hire for most bikes as taster sessions they told me as they manage the Piaggio and Ducati test fleets last year and I was looking to buy an Aprilia at the time.

Might be worth ringing to see when its free

I can wait and seen the Spyfer club bike a few weeks ago as it was being finished.

many thanks for that. What colour is the top and bottom Orange. Any idea

[Andybow]

Love this colour, wonder what it would be like on the ace

[Mr Dave]

Honestly I think all Orange is too much on that bike. If it was me I would see what having a black tail fairing, hugger, belly pan with a coloured tank.

Or even all black with a stripe of colour. Either orange or gold to go with the Ohlins or silver to go with the frame which is really the focal point of the bike.

These ideas sound really good. It's a pretty wild looking bike anyway so more subtle colour schemes would work well.

IMO certain bikes suit different colours. I've got 2 reds and 1 black and chose them all that way; the reds because that's the colour they (mostly) were made but also because it suits the bike in question and the black because I wanted black (I built it from parts so could have chosen any colour).

That said I'm not a fan of yellow, orange, green, fluorescent, race reps or anything too multi-coloured...

Seem's we have completely the opposite thoughts on colour.

I think the black front and rear hugger looks good and maybe black or carbon on the rad side cover. That will look nice with a colour on the tank, tail and belly pan

If I was spending that much on a bike I'd be spending a few more quid on a quality one off airbrush job.

Like Airbrushed Skulls and lions!!! or women topless riding a dragon !!!!!


I think a quality paint job would look better myself

If you're imagination only runs to that, I wholeheartedly agree! Of course, there are billions of other things you can do with an airbrush, I see Ariel even offer it as an option. How about a Repsol Replica?;)

Might sound a bit odd but what about one of them browny-bronze colours? Combined with a tan leather seat I reckon that would look very classy.

That's perhaps a little too brown! And I'm not a fan of crocodile skin seat!
