    I Like It!

    That Rothmans Honda Racing livery looks good on almost any Honda sportbike,but it really lends a particular touch of elegance to the VFR. Nicely done HALUN,thanks for the additional pics. I too am curious as to how your paint job was done. Did you start with an all white bike,squirt blue paint,and lay decals? More info and details if you would please. Thanks.

    Total MotoGP look. Awesome, when can I send my bike over to look like Marco Simoncelli's 250cc. Something about European advertising that looks so good. Once again, F-ing sweet.

    Very nice, I was just talking to my wife about doing this to her pearl white '06 but she couldn't picture it. We looked at pics of Mick Doohan's MotoGP bikes but she couldn't imagine it on a VFR.

    But I think it matches the bike quite nice, this will keep ideas bubbling here, maybe next year do a paint job

    I bought a full set of fairings which were mainly blue with silver seat hump and infills and candy red mudguard and 90-93 model vfr750 rear wheel and 04 vtec front wheel ,so still have my 07 candy red 1s if I ever get bored with these!
    it was painted all white and then the blue laid on it,stickered up and then laquered over,its only back yest and I forgot to get the wee infill panels beside the clocks so will get those bought and fitted in near future
    thanks for the comments people its appreciated,makes me feel Ive done the right thing,and oh the avatar is a bit of tongue in cheek humour lol nothing to be taken seriously

    I have a second 1 here for sale,drunken ebay purchase lol dont ask!

    I really dont think any of the modern paint schemes would of suited it tbh and they will date far more than this would,I consider this timeless because its 20 year old now and still looks fresh, I personally dont like the repsol and I think this gives it a bit of retro chic!
    and no rothmans sponcering racing anymore well not that I know of anyway!

    When I saw this thread (again) and I looked at the earlier pictures, I was thinking that you needed to remove the rear foot pegs.

    Mission accomplished.

    Looking very sweet.

    "looks nice..I don't like to advertise for free but. it looks good"

    In this day and age advertising tobacco (or being mean about homosexuals come to think of it) could get you thrown in jail! :crazy:

    Great paint job, well done!
