Best Honda paint schemes?

This one for me, I'm not a fan at all of schemes like the repsol ones, If I wanted to advertise a Spanish fuel company I'd get one but I think they look crap, they also are very max power with the shopping list of suppliers all over the bikes, reminds me of the chav cars with their shopping lists down the doors.
Around 1997/1998, I went on holiday in Italy with my parents and checked out a local Honda dealer in North Italy. I'll never forget that in the "normal" Honda Italy brochure these were listed:
My first bike though, was a NSR 125 with NSR 250 bodywork replica of this bike:
I send a pciture of it to Jeff Hardwick (the team's owner) and I got invited to watch the Dutch TT in 2000 with them. From the pits.

Please, not a brown and gold Fireblade.
This you mean. Best ever. I had one, a 900RR-S Foxeye, 1994. 
as per above I don't know if it was because I was young and Loved it but I don't think I actually looked it till I had a it a few weeks and it dawned on me it was metallic Beige and brown
pedantic alert I always thought mine was an RR-R ?
edit it was an RRR - Good Investment apparently (think most of my old bikes go in this heading apart from the one I have kept for the last 20 years

Liked them when new as at the time were considered more subtle than some of the other colours.
Helped a friend pull this out of the corner of a workshop sometime ago, looked fine at first glance but needed a total resto as there wasn't an usable component on it.

I did say it tongue in cheek, having to describe this scheme to someone as Allegro Beige and Maxi Brown

Looks better in the pics but most panels were cracked or grazed, tank & downpipes rusty, lots of things like worn lever/foot rest mounts, non-original indicator plus motor sounded very cam-chainey - wasn't worth the money wanted considering the expense to restore, not really good enough to break.
