karlos Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I really am lost after seeing the black model today, i've been moved from 4th too 3rd on Realmotosports waiting list and my bike should be here within the next few days (should have arrived yesterday to be honest) but hey..... Yes yes there are better bikes and i'd love to have an 1198 parked under my house but the Ninja wannabe is all i can afford right now I would like to hear any input regarding why 'x' looks better than 'x' and appreciate your input guys. Karl
villagefarang Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Black because it matches my wardrobe and my heart.
karlos Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 The only thing that puts me off the black is half the plastics are unpainted just like the green model and i can't help thinking that it makes the black bike look a little unfinished, as if someone ran out of paint half way through the spray booth.... The thing that puts me off the green is that nasty black front to the tank, i don't see why i should have to finish painting the tank myself. Nothing please me any more, i guess my hearts turning black too lol
naboo Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Everyone knows that green is faster But it also looks like I excreted it.... Black, black black. Its the new green.
Nignoy Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Which ever colour matches your handbag and makeup :jap:
katabeachbum Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 None, they have both been around since 2009. Respray at 6k baht. Ducati red. White Pearl. Lamborghini yellow. Matt black. Gun metall. Kawasaki green. Now you are unique in TH
snowflake Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Once you go black, you don't go back???? (please translate the above statments to motorcycles)!!!
Travelmate Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I go with black. Was in there last Saturday picking up a black Z1000
NormanW Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Everyone knows that green is faster I second that.
katabeachbum Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Everyone knows that green is faster I second that. only kwaker green is faster
karlos Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 None, they have both been around since 2009. Respray at 6k baht. Ducati red. White Pearl. Lamborghini yellow. Matt black. Gun metall. Kawasaki green. Now you are unique in TH gun metal or a Matt black would look sweet, white has been done before, either colour would only require the tank upper fairings and tail unit to be sprayed if i was to re-spray in matt balck Black is looking like the new green but black is such an ass to keep clean, and i do like to ride my bikes rain or shine. I think it's going to come down to impulse and what my gf prefers, ohhhh and i have never 'gone black' before so i wouldn't know if i'd 'want to turn back' or not
karlos Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Consider this poll closed as i just purchased my bike this evening, what colour did i get.................. well lets combine the 2 green & 4 green + tank re-spray votes to give 6 votes V's 7 (for black)...... I took the lesser vote in to consideration, well to be honest i just had to have the fastest colour and all the Kwakers i have had before have been green, the black bike does look great and i was tempted but i just couldn't turn black
karlos Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 And someone just voted green to make me feel more at ease ^ you've made the right choice!
dezy1801 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Nice bike mate enjoy let me know how you find it.
snowflake Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Well, I have the orange one so I will not argue your choice... Who really cares about the colour, get out and ride it... safety second, speed first!
