Solid blue is too... Suzuki. Buell has the right idea with their two-tone schemes sans the boy-racer rice graphics. Love the current black-blue combo on the 1125R.
Please make mine a blue-white or yellow-blue combo. A callback to the White-Lightning would be awesome too.
Oooh, Yellow body, blue wheels and the black outline on the radiator pods. Sexy. |

whoever did that throwback look of the flying tiger, P-40 or whatever had the best look!!! It's in this site somewhere - sorry for my laziness in not looking it up. |

Midknyte I like that grey paint job allot, I have the bomber graphics decal kit for the xb9r, I bought it off of ebay and have a helmet to go with a paint job like that, I do not know how it will look on the 1125R, I would like to know what program did you use to do the photo's? check out the Akuma stealth helmet and see if you can do that to the 1125R, I would love to see it. I can do airbrush work but never did a paint job but thinking of it and I would do it to match my helmet. Mike |

Ah yes, the Stealth Fighter scheme would look good on the 1125R. Plus that's a paint theme I have not seen. |

I do not like the color of the frame but I did not buy the bike for its color but for its performance, it would be nice to have a bike that does not look like everyone else's bikes, so I got a Buell bomber graphics decal kit, I am not sure if I am going to use it but I think the bike painted like my helmet would be awesome on this bike.

That blue at the top would look awesome if all the body plastic was transparent, with silver/chrome on the back.
1/8 inch thick Candy Blue.
oh yeah

No_rice, I still think that's one of the best custom jobs I've seen to date. It's clean and simple but all works with the natural lines of the bike. |

i guess mine is going to have to look like i stole it from the motor pool. |

Great custom colors, no_rice! Just a technical question (as a newbie) -- is the front tire backwards? I thought the treads should channel water away from the middle (like your rear tire), not towards it. |

Thruster most of the front tires look like they are backwards but are not, picture the tire leaned over and you will see it will channel water away when cornering, most tires for sport bikes are like this, I do not why the middle tread is not the same way to channel water away when strait up.

thanks for the compliments. i just told the gf the other day that i found it odd i have a brand new never ridden 1125 sitting in the garage with one mile on it, and i really want the weather to clear up so i can go beat the snot out of the 9.
i really wanted to camo green the 1125, but its just not going to look how i want.
the 1125 isnt as rough and rugged looking as the xb's are.
i have something else in the works at the moment... |
