While I'm down waiting for the ok from my doctor to ride and race again... I've been thinking...
How do you think my GS would look painted and stickered to look like a factory Suzuki MotoGP bike, as raced by Team Rizla right now? :P

I'd have to paint the frame, swingarm and wheels black, bodywork powder blue.
Add decals: (As a bonus, I plan on runing Bridgestones once the 140 090's are available again... and I'm already sporting NGK plugs, so thse go on. Plus the bike is already being scored as a 'GSXR 500' so those sticker HAVE to go on.)

Finish with the yellow and dark blue stripe down the middle...
Ok, so really finish with a matching bike cover, hat, and shirt/jacket. :P

To do this I'd need a second set of bodywork, plus a tank. The stock parts are in too good shape to muck with just yet. Ideally a second frame/swingarm and wheel set would make powdercoating a no down time affair. I'll see if I can photoshop this later to preview it.
If I go that far they just HAVE to let me swap out the OEM exhaust... :P
Good thing it's a race bike......,If you rode it on the street don't you think most cops you pass wont get the moto gp theme and just wonder why you have a huge advertisment for rolling papers painted on the side of your bike.
Hah, given some of the tarted up street bikes around here, I think the bigger question is why I'd dare ride in public on a powder blue bike. : )
I know Jay was looking at an sv650 with that scheme, not sure if he got it or not. Any who, here's the thread.
