Paint Color Poll

msebastian · September 7th, 2012, 11:00 PM

Getting ready to purchase another 250R. It is an 08, and is currently passion red. I am looking to paint the bike during the off season and was shopping around for prices. The choice of color will make up the final cost. I am pro white bikes but my daughter want's daddy to have a green bike since green is her favorite she tells me. She is 7 and is pretty much the boss. Just wanted to get your guys and gals thoughts on color choices. If white is chosen I will have to attempt to talk her out of the green since I want the bike to be white. Candy and Toys should do the trick.

White. Those are pretty.

But I vote Kawi Green. It's a Kawasaki. Make it the color that made the company famous

pomartin · September 7th, 2012, 11:07 PM

black

or green...

Okay black is not an option. Choose between the two colors PLEASE.

msebastian · September 7th, 2012, 11:12 PM

By the way I will not be putting decals on the bike except on the rear tail. Either a ZX-2R or 250R on the tail. No Kawasaki on the tank or Ninja on the side. Maybe a Ninja on the side

Jiggles · September 7th, 2012, 11:22 PM

black is always an option and is the only color that makes sense for a ninja

Not to mention black is the fastest

Stamatos · September 8th, 2012, 05:14 PM

Mine is CLG and I get constant compliments on the color. CLG is also more visible (in he middle of the color spectrum). White is the most visible unless it is overcast or you ride in snow (ouch). So my vote is CLG all the way.

massacremasses · September 8th, 2012, 05:39 PM

pink

Asspire · September 8th, 2012, 05:44 PM

RED IS THE FASTEST COLOUR!!!!1!!

R1Chronicles · September 8th, 2012, 06:11 PM

Green, then you don't even have to bother with a badge, everyone will know it's kawi ...

The bike will already be red, so I guess I could save some money huh. Plus have some extra power to boot. Nice bike by the way.

msebastian · September 8th, 2012, 06:38 PM

So far Pearl White is out in front. I need to see Candy Lime Green on a 250 before I make the final decision. I have already seen the Pearl White

Felipe the Ant · September 8th, 2012, 06:38 PM

Green, it's the fastest

Jiggles · September 9th, 2012, 10:43 AM

As you can see black is the fastest

Felipe the Ant · September 9th, 2012, 10:55 AM

That bike's not going anywhere. Plus the rear wheel is off the ground

bdavison · September 9th, 2012, 11:04 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Darkhorse Racing bike that has the World Record for speed on a ninja 250 .....GREEN.

Looks good, but I still need to see the color on the bike in person. She does look nice and fast though.

damn cheap@$$ black bikes. Shoulda gone green.

Monkeytofu · September 11th, 2012, 09:31 PM

Why not both? White with green highlights/accents or vice versa.

Yeah I like the plain white without all the stickers and decals. I am going to do the Ninja on the side but it will not be a sticker or decal. I am getting the 3d emblems from a 2012 zx-14r and either painting them black or having them powdercoated black. They will pop much more than stickers. I am also looking into having 3d emblems done for the tail fairing, either ZX-2R or 250R with the ZX-2 or the 250 black and the R red. Should look pretty sweet and give the bike a little more pop. The front fender will be carbon fiber as well as the side panels and GSX-R style rear hugger (Fender portion only.) I was also thinking about doing the upper cowl inner panels in carbon as well and painting the gauge face plate black or try to find one in carbon. I can have my parts hydrocoated in carbon and save a lot of money.

Meant something along the lines of this but with more white, no black and your green.

I've always hated logos and stickers so I would never suggest adding them to a bike. I really thing it really lowers the appeal of a bike and detracts from what the design team started out with before buckling to corporate.

That looks pretty good but I dont like green on white or white on green. Have you seen the new badges, they are not logos or stickers.

Here ya go

I will only do the front Ninja badge and have a ZX-2R or 250R made for the tail in the colors stated above.

Yeah, the raised stickers do look a lot better.

I am adamantly against any logos or badges on any vehicle. But to each his own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc.

Yo, I still vote black

Bassman · September 12th, 2012, 12:05 AM

Black is a good color if you race because no one will see you. On the street, green & red are good colors if you want to be seen. Although now days, perhaps you should paint your bike to look like a cell phone, then you will really be noticed.
