Gotta say if you wanna choose one of those four, id go with the red. I agree on maybe a lil less flake in it but the red is my personal favorite out of the four.

It is YOUR bike. Pick the color YOU like!
In the end, our opinions mean nothing because it is your baby. (But we all will be more than happy to argue the topic until Suzuki comes out with a new 500cc bike!)
I make my bikes the way I like them. I'm not out to impress anyone. I don't chop fenders or do flush mounts or loud exhausts just because others find it cool. I make my bikes the way I will be happy with them. If someone complements me on them - cool! If they as why I didn't do something they think is cool - I just say "because it is my bike and I like it this way."
Do we have to like the color you pick? no. But we can praise you for doing a great job.

When life gives you lemons paint that sheet GOLD!!

Actually how about the flat black one with the fenders removed and the seat hacked in half with a chain saw? Oh wait, was that an option?   :icon_twisted:

I'm slightly concerned by this comment  :cookoo:

I do think the gold is a bit too much. Orange is nice and is likely my second choice. The green could be a tad brighter and the red certainly gives the depth and angle i like.

Seems like your narrowing it down, now all that's left is picking the one you will like in the long run.

I understand completely. This is my 3rd set of colors Ive painted and still havent decided. But this has to be finished by May (Bike week) so Im running out of time :(

To be brutally honest... I don't like any of them... But hey your not me, only you know what you like, so run with your gut and go with what you really like..

Good luck!!!  :icon_confused:

My goodness that's like the best looking 89-00 model I've seen adiddas. And for color, too much sparkle for me, but if there was less i would say orange or gold. Definitely not green. good luck!
I am into buying bikes that people have given up on and fixing them up!

RIP Patrick Lajko, I miss you man.

Think if that was out in the sun it would like more gold. I don't get the white frame and poop brown color though(to each his own on colors though).

Edit: I did not use the word poop hint hint  :icon_razz:

Well I did decide and the first color for my first set of fairings, tank and other pieces will be Candy Red. My other set of plastics, tank and other pieces will be the Deep Holographic Orange

I've seen some old hot rod cars with the green with big flakes and yellow tinted windows. Might look cool to do the green and find or tint a wind screen yellow. With amber light covers and silver wheels. Search for the car the Gas Monkey Garage did on the tv show Fast N' Loud.

Ultimately, it's like Adidasguy said, make it what you like! F@&k what everyone else thinks of it. Even if we don't like the color scheme, we'll still give kudos to a well executed paint job!
