That's a swoopy looking paint job. I'm just not sure about the color.

Yeah... fully sick paint job...

Sorta Gothic and Zombie mixed together... Cool

But I still can't work out why folks put on the K and N filter... isn't it way worse than stock Confused

Trouble is a bike like that is gonna attract the HEAT...

Fully tropical here.... reckon another cyclone will brew up before long....

I like. Would have been better with burnt orange flames, however.

Merlin, as soon as I saw the pic I knew it wouldn't fly with the faithful. Most are ultra conservative, disliking anything that doesn't contribute to function. That's one reason why the marque has a staid image.

Merlin & Geoff,

You are right. Our daughter Jen (22 y.o.) wouldn't be caught riding one of our ancient K bikes. She REALLY loves her Kaw ZX6R- just doesn't appreciate classic looks.

And as all of us get, ahem, older.....maybe many of us are not as flashy as we used to be.

John

I'm pretty sure I thought green flames were ugly when I was 20. Laughing

Blue might have been OK. At least you could match it up to the blue in the roundels.

Hi Merlin....

re: ""Funny thing is though, the Airhead Chat List is pretty much left of centre... ""

As an Airhead and a Socialist, I've gotta agree. In fact, many of us are so far left we are now on the right again !

Good luck in OZ, you've had it pretty bad lately !

Oh, and by the way,,, green flames on any bike still suck !

Regards..........// Ernie in NH

The S1000RR will help change BMW's staid and sedate image. It's just a matter of time before we'll see squids in shorts and flip flops doing burnouts and stand-up wheelies on city streets.
