Red or Matt Black??

If going matt, the red 600RR sticker on the rear in this photo would be black.

The reason for the change? I want something thats low maintenance, not gloss and easy to repair/spray. I was considering buying myself a supercheap spray system just to do this kinda work myself.. Figure ill be coming off a fair bit :D

Glossy red.
I've heard the argument about having to be easy to repaint, but I'm not buying it, I like my track bike to look the part.

From experience, Matt black looks like arse after a while.

match the bike with your leathers...

if you have yellow leathers, red wont go!

black is a good colour if you ever decide to change your leathers

accessorize,accessorize,accessorize, need i say anymore

maybe also look at investing in some case covers... can mean the difference in getting back on and finishing the day.. and if you eventually get racing you'll need them...

Low maintenence? Stay away from matte colours. They scuff easy and look shit from the start if you havent done an immaculate job. Gloss is the easiest to paint and clean etc

The red looks tops. Worry about repairing and painting once you need to.
