I think a lot of people have a completely different idea in their minds of how the bike (or anything else) will look with that color. It is also difficult to know how a particular color will look once it is applied, under the sun light, etc. That how I explain some very weird choices around. Some

I would much rather see it restored in the stock Wineberry color with the decals put back on it than like that. Beautiful old Hondas in non-Honda colors in general don't do it for me. Maybe I'm a purist, but I even put original tires on my bikes, like the K505s on my '96 NH and Bridgestones on

Mmmm, I have to disagree with the tires. I for one would never choose a tire's aesthetics over performance. Give me a good modern tire on an old bike any day, as long as the size is right. Kurt On Aug 31, 2012 9:23 PM, EGrider gevan...@gmail.com wrote: I would much rather see it restored in the

I'm still on the green thing. There might have been a motorcycle built at some point in time that was green. But I'm pretty sure there was never a motorcycle painted that particular shade of green. In my mind, that makes it an inappropriate choice, and I would never consider buying it,

The problem with that, however, is if everyone followed that line of thinking we'd still have one choice of color: black. And that goes for automobiles, motorcycles, and so on. Well, black and OD green. Kurt On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 1:04 AM, surfswab surfs...@gmail.com wrote: I'm still on the

My position on a lot of things is that doing something simply because it's never been done that way before isn't always the greatest justification, but NOT doing something just because it's never been done that way before isn't ever proper justification. Just my couple pennies. -Kurt On Sat,

I imagine that in person, and with graphics applied, it would look a lot better than it does in those pictures. Me, I'm not a fan of Kawasaki nuclear snot green, but I'm not going to say it's a wrong color for anything. Just the wrong color for me. Maybe the right color if used as an accent, not
