I just had a nosey on eBay and noticed this bike.

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-R6_W0QQitemZ330233842043QQihZ014QQcategoryZ9809QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If you look you'll notice that it's mostly yellow with black on one side. And on the other side it's mostly black with yellow.

Never seen this sorta thing before. Usually it's the same colour scheme on both sides.

What other colours do you think would go well with a thing like that?

So it's like looking at 2 different bikes.
I think it looks pretty cool and might even consider doing a paintjob like that if i ever need a bike respraying.

Any thoughts?

(Expecting McGee to photoshop his gixxer now btw)

I'm afraid that R6 looks pants, in my opinion.

The Black/White idea sounds alright though Cool

I have the 2000 Nastro Paint job on my Bike, But to really stand out would have to be the Fiat 500 paint job he had at Mugello a bit like being on Acid Laughing

I didn't mean that i liked that bike exactly like that.
I meant the colours being different on each side.

I could imagine black and red would look nice too.
It would just be one of those things that would make your bike stand out from the crowd as it's different but i suppose most people wouldn't notice unless the bike was standing still somewhere so ppl could walk around it lol.

It might just be me though but i quite like the idea of having the colours reversed on 1 side.

I think yellow/black - red/black - white/black would look nice if you keep the scheme simple and not too much gfx/stickers on there.

Possibly blue/yellow too. Not sure.
Then getting a matching helmet too. Would look ace! Razz

Got a flip paint on mines:

Purple usually, In shadows it looks more green and in direct sunlight its a bit bronzey Razz

I like the idea of the different colours on each side though Smile

Yep, it's the same as his helmets with the sun on one side and the moon on the other. Meant to represent the light and darker sides of his personality or something.
