Repsol 250 or GTFO????

Alienjoe · October 19th, 2012, 02:31 PM

Does this get anyone else's blood pumping?? This color scheme is my favorite on any bike ever. How bad would it be to convert my pregen into a Repsol colored machine!!!???

alex.s · October 19th, 2012, 02:37 PM

Kawi 250 Repsol replica??? Neither Kawi or Honda fans would ever speak to you again...

You make a thread about a repsol 250 and then post a 600rr?

I really want to do this to my ninja as well... Been thinking about it for a while, I guess I'll do it some time next year... I have a 2011.

Just posted a pic of the Repsol color scheme and asked for opinions on making a ninja 250 look like this. I wouldn't put the Honda stickers on LOL

Wow I think its sexy! I would have definitely bought that if I had the chance. I'm actually tempted to do that to my bike now...

Reswob · October 19th, 2012, 09:36 PM

Why does everyone want to put a HONDA racing paintjob on their KAWI?? Might as well go put some Chevy bowties on your F-150s...

Monkeytofu · October 19th, 2012, 10:26 PM

Why do people want to advertise for brands that don't pay them to advertise for them? It makes no sense to me.

Same reason people buy shirts with the company's logo on it.

Might as well swing for the fence. Cover that thing with both Yamaha and Suzuki stickers.

I'd like to know the reasoning behind this as well. It makes sense if they pay you, but why do it for free?

It's all about the look. If you are so worried take the Kawasaki and Ninja logos off of your bike. That's advertising too no??

andylawcc · October 20th, 2012, 12:15 PM

I bought my bike with no logos on it

soundsfasterthanitis · October 20th, 2012, 01:06 PM

If you like the way it looks go for it.

CZroe · October 21st, 2012, 03:16 PM

A guy with Alpine Stars logos on his car asked the Anandtech forums why people put Monster logo's on their cars. Knowing that he was an avid motorcyclist, I guessed that he had a few logos on his car and pointed out the obvious motorsports angle. He understood. A lot are "because everyone is doing it" copy-cats, but I do think that motorsports fan loyalty explains a lot. It applies to Ford/Chevy almost as much, though a higher percentage of those are just fanboys.

it was Jules? I haven't frequent "the garage" subforum for a while, but i know Jule is a.... unique character.

and sandy eggo is NOT STRANGE!

The only thing from the repsol design i'd like on my ninja is the rear sear exhaust =P

jeffreys24 · October 21st, 2012, 11:34 PM

Painting your kawi 250 in a exact type of repsol scheme with repsol stickers should be an automatic ninjette forum ban. Also a ban from any Honda forum

ninja250r81 · October 22nd, 2012, 01:40 AM

Repsol looks the goods, but not for any Kawasaki.

maybe

dfox · October 22nd, 2012, 03:37 AM

if you follow JUST the color scheme, I don't see why not. Don't put Repsol stickers on your bike though, that's just asking for it, because Repsol obviously doesn't sponsor Kawi.

Repsol is just a sponsor of the Honda race team, and the colors are Repsol's colors.

It's like a non-subaru rocking the bright blue paint and gold wheel combo. That's 555 cigarette's colors. Even though they can't advertise the brand name, they have the colors on the subaru, and it's stuck.

Execution next year... Unless someone wants to finance me

Alienjoe · October 22nd, 2012, 07:57 AM

I like that idea!! I'll do the Orange white and black but put kawasaki in place of repsol on the fairings. If I do it at all. I'm making it into the alien bike now. Alien stickers and green led lights. At least Aliens are green right??

I've always felt a monster version or repsol version should cost less, but that will never work!
