I myself like the silver mist best but a good black bike is dang pretty. Just add a turbo, moly graphics decals and waalaa, second thought, don't! I'm doing that. :laugh: :laugh: I've seen Z1R's in many colors and none seem at home like the originals but that's just me I'm sure.
I vote Ram also, Not being biased by any means, I'm a picky sucker and I seen his work before he got mine to do, that tell you anything? And I've got 5A show winning body shops around me!

I've been wanting to do this scheme for a while but how about a mettallic purple with alot of red or blue pearl in it to give it that unique hue in the sunlight and then spray the frame a bright lime green or hot rod green. Sounds strange but it would look wild.
