    Maybe Richard is just SO excited that he missed a little something? I get a little spaced out as well when I think of my baby.

    At the very least I was expecting a pic of your bike, your best girl, or your child. Good effort though and don't forget to take your meds.

    After some spying and interrogation of various sources I think I've made up a pretty accurate composite picture:

    I dunno which one I like more, the spy shot or the real deal. Does any one else feel the urge to look for a used RC? All three are very nice.

    Am I the only one thinking that this should have been the 07 RWB paint job and colors?
    I like it.

    Actually I've seen shots of this bike posted before. IIRC, they were exterior shots taken on a small side street minus the RC30.

    The RC30 paint scheme gets me going more so than any other VFR scheme.

    Richard - SUPER KUDOS to you, my friend. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING bike you have. Makes me tingle looking at it...

    Anyone on here want to PhotoChop a 4G for me for this same paint scheme? I have always wondered what my bike would look like as a RWB...

    Please???


    ALSO - THIS IS HOW THE 25th bike SHOULD HAVE COME...

    Well, i like my RWB just fine the way it is, it match my CX-650 Turbo

    I must admit that, God forbid, if anything happens to the VFR, these RC-30 colours look very good

    I must say that it looks great! I had thought about doing the same thing, even bought some fairings to paint since I have a little sentimantal attachment to the pinstripe dragon on my bike now.(Long story short, a deceased buddy and I were on a motorcycle trip and we both put these pinstripe dragons on our bikes, just wouldn't feel right to get rid of them.) Anyways, I was trying to figure out the best place for the lines to be on the body but it looks like you have done a fantastic job of that on your bike.
    Definitely should be the color choice if there are any future RWB's on Honda's mind.

    Just came across this thread, and I must say that the RC30 livery on your VFR is just stunning. Agree with everyone else this is what the RWB version should have looked like.

    Joey_Dude, your amazing spy-shot is downright fantastic. I can only imagine that is what a 7th gen VFR might look like in coming years. Good Work!

    As for this tri-color 6th gen, I have a RWB, and..... I like yours better. Can I have it? haha

    It looks terrific. Those colors are sweet. Great job on the paint and welcome to the forums!
    Keep the rubber side down!

    Previously I had really thought that the 25th anniv bikes looked great, but dame, that is one super sharp ride. Great work! unfortunately now i feel like my plain pearl white 06 is just lacking in the cosmetics department.
