What colour should i paint Pinky?

[Wolfman]

Ok, as some of you know, i have recently purchased a Hot Pink FZ6 Cup bike! On close inspection, the paint is not in the best condition, as it looks like a cheap job, and has been through 2 years of racing, and being carted around in the back of a truck!

Also, the realisation that as a newbie racer on a pink bike, i might find it hard to get any "respect" with such a bold statement.

Anyway, i am thinking of going in a couple of different directions with the paint scheme, and i just want to see what others think, as to which direction i should go???

Here is a picture of my FZ6 Cup bike as it is, followed by a three examples of which way i am thinking of going...

There are 3 options...

or Yamaha White, with red.

Am hoping to get a graphic designer mate to do 3 different Photochop versions of all 3 paint schemes adapted to suit the fz6...hopefully, unless someone on here wants to have a go???

everyone knows that if you paint a bike blue then it will be faster....

Being Danish, - I gotta vote for Red & White

I'd leave it pink, but that is just me. My gf and now a good friend's wife have breast cancer so my track bike it flat black and metallic pink. I'd leave some hints of pink and slap a Save the Ta Tas sticker on there somewhere.

If not, then the Yamaha 50th anniversary colors

If you are going to paint her it HAS to be yellow, that is after all, the original Yamaha racing color.

That's what MP reckons too...and she carries quite a bit of weight in the decision making process!!! i must admit, it looks awesome.

Yamaha Blue and white to match the leathers!

what about incorporating the wolfman theme somehow,and why could'nt we have a donation drive on here to help with the funding of the completion of "Pinky"?then fz6 forum could be a sponsor and part of wolfman racing team!

LOL! Now that would be awesome...bring it on! I have spent way way way too much coin on my obsession as it is!

By the way, you wanna be my "manager"!

I vote for flat black with gold letters and numbers:rockon:

I'm partial to red and white but there's always the history factor. I think you could draw some inspiration from the rz350 graphics back in the day. Here's a red/white and yellow/black example.

I vote yellow. But you must continue to call the bike pinky!!!:rockon:

 

[Andz]

I'll go for the yellow too, if only cos I want to see how it will look before I paint mine in those colours!

yellow does it for me, but I also like the white...then I am also drawn to the blue...as I got leathers today that are blue, black and white, at a super duper price!!!!so am quite torn!

I think this bike will always be referred to as pinky in some way... Is quite famous in a way...due to amy riding it, as well as the former editor of australia biggest bike mag!

What colour are your new leathers going to be mate?

[Shinn]

Will the yellow look good with the new leathers? If yes, yellow all the way. If not go something that won't look bad with the leathers.

that's the $64 question! How will blue black and a predominantly white front and back look with yellow?

I voted 50th Anniversary looks mean and clean.

That was the original plan...it was actually the yellow fz1 that made me want a bike that colour!

Its usually the first one you pick that stands out the most, at least in my case, when i like something.
