this bike ![http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/content/images/600/11SPBK_R6_Red_B1_008_dbea4ae7.jpg](http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/content/images/600/11SPBK_R6_Red_B1_008_dbea4ae7.jpg) it reminds me a bit of this GSXR color scheme ![http://www.featuredcars.com/images/full-2006-Suzuki-gsxr-750_21926_1.jpg](http://www.featuredcars.com/images/full-2006-Suzuki-gsxr-750_21926_1.jpg) which is a color i was looking for when i got mine. it was between the burgundy or the dark blue. ---

With that said, those are often regarded as gawdy as well - squids dig the Repsol Cbr. And don’t worry, most of the forum discussions are opinions, it’s all in good fun and just speaking your mind. I would honestly like it if not for the graphics, same with the CBR’s. Speaking of squids with graphics, shapes what gear you got :tongue ---

I wore his old Icon Helmet all last year and I took his old gloves too. And his leather jacket. I actually just got a new helmet for christmas. I must say though that I rarely wore the jacket. I know its bad not to but I was to comfortable not wearing it that I only wore it when it was colder out. Bad habits I guess ---
