I know this sounds like rehash of an old topic but I'm getting ready to assemble a Bird for future sale and I have the luxury of any color paint at this point. I don't care for graphics much except basic decals to identify the bike so I looking for a straight colors that will make the bike unusual, yet attractive.

For your consideration, attached is a pic of my buddys' old VFR which I find surprisingly attractive, will this work on a Bird. Also attached is the subject Bird that will get the redo.

since the frame is black and its aa blackbirb ... and black is thought by some to be the fastest color and since the vifer has white wheels go with black maybe some gold or chrome accent.i think black is sleek and i would not put no emblems stickers nothing ... just a thought

Keep them coming gents. Black is my default color if nothing else works but I really would like to go with something unusual.

The Yamaha Blue is definitely a possibility, they sure looked good at Barber.

Yeah, VFR pearl white. Chrome rims, black accents. (of course, the person who buys it may have to get the matching chaps. A white XX should not have surprised me )
