To paint or not to paint. That is the question.

checked shootmyscoots falco, looks sweet, in my mind though not sure if the gleaming white suits the polished look of the frame imho, have been looking on af1 for different colour schemes, not overly keen on multi colours prefer just one simple body colour, gonna be deep in thought for a while!!

White would work for a new colour on a bronze bike as they have the dark grey frames.

How about Old English White with some black pinstriping?

Better still I keep considering the same design as the bronze/new red and black ones but just substitute the coloured areas for pearl white and keep the black bits - too much white just doesn't look right (as if you've resprayed it yourself with the cheapest paint you can find) but with some black to break it up it looks amazing ( a la Duke 848)

.... so you're suggesting a paint scheme inspired by a zebra's arse?

Yup. But with a bit more white and some Aprilia stickers
