What would a red white and blue 5th gen look like?

Britt · 07-10-2008, 04:48 PM

Since buying my VFR and seeing the RWB 6th gen, I often wondered how the color combo would look on my bike. Today was the day to figure it out - I'm bored to tears at work and decided to play with Photoshop.

Behold, the RWB 5th Gen!

Everyone has their opinions, and certainly plenty of people will not like it. As for me - I'm still undecided. I'm no Photoshop expert so colors may not be quite exact. Just thought I would share.

i think the front fender needs to be red or white, but i like it.

Galo · 07-10-2008, 04:51 PM

I like it!!
I think the blue otta be a little darker, but it looks good.

You're right - I just darkened it a bit.

stewartj239 · 07-10-2008, 06:00 PM

I think it looks great. I bet this will get a lot of people thinking about doing it. Now Photoshop it with white rims.

hondajt · 07-10-2008, 06:40 PM

i liked it better before you "dakened" it. Do you still have the before picture? Maybe put them side by side instead?

drewl · 07-10-2008, 07:19 PM

I am intrigued...

JTC · 07-10-2008, 11:50 PM

$h!t... looks better than the 6th.

Rustbucket · 07-11-2008, 02:13 AM

5th always does.

I'm guessing, of course.

Here is the original before I darkened it.

That looks sweet!!

Hey Hondajt, Your avatar has me hypnotized.. I can't stop looking at it

yoda6669 · 07-11-2008, 11:18 AM

Nice job on the photoshop. It looks awesome, I'll look better when someone actually do one like that. Who up to it?

justjay · 07-11-2008, 11:23 AM

I like it as well, but I would use the blue from the RWB 6th gen. And I second the white wheels. I had mine coated white and it looks great. The pics are in my gallery.

VT Viffer · 07-11-2008, 11:26 AM

Great job!!!

If you're still bored, would you mind doing up a 4th Gen bike?

The 5th looks great like that, but I concur that it needs either white or gold wheels. The fender should be white, too.

Big3 · 07-11-2008, 12:42 PM

lose the red stripe on the tail .. it doesnt flow

Britt · 07-11-2008, 12:44 PM

Here are some variations on the theme. I know some of the editing isn't perfect, but cut me some slack - I'm still teaching myself Photoshop as I go!
