Today I was surfing the net, and came across an RC30. This made me wonder whether I should paint my NC23's spare panels in RC30 colours or Rothmans colours?

Opinions welcome Thumbs Up

so that will mean my net power is about -304 Laughing

I'm liking the RC30 for the simplicity, but the Rothmans for being a bit different Confused might go with the RC30 as I can do that with paint, whereas the Rothmans will require loads of vinyls Sad

I've started the RC30 look Razz am hoping to get the vinyl tape to do the gold stripes between the colours (and to hide where the tape bled through Embarassed )Smile It's not going to be identical, just RC30 style

It's a CBR, not a VFR/RVF/NSR. The RC30/NC30 are stunning, but their livery works very specifically with the lines of the bike (which are very different to a CBR). A CBR400 should embrace it's own heritage:

If you do go with the RC30 livery, I'll be interested to see how it works out, but can't imagine it working all that well.

those are both nc29's Wink I have the nc23 tri-arm.

I want something a bit different and couldn't find anything that suited the 23 tbh

The nose cone is now sprayed half white and half pale blue, so just need the gold stripe and thats 1 part out of 10 done Laughing
