Be better if it was a bluer blue.........that shade looks almost like the color that came on some older Toyota Tacomas.......couldnt quite tell if it was blue or purple. But hey, some people might be into purple, so that might be fine.

Looks good.. but as said .. it would look better all one color, and if it was the Electon Blue from the 600rr.

i still love the Repsol though, and i am thinking about getting one ... but i want a 600, not the 1000 ... so that kinda makes it a hard decision


Nice find

Nice PS .. but for some reason .. i dont like the black or the blue, i dunno why. I think it would look aot better if it went blue all the way down to like that cut out circle in the fairing right by the bottom of the case cover ... kinda like it down on the 600rr, rather then going halfway up the bike.

i also think it would look better without the graphics

lets just stick with ours ... the gunmetal color is hot .. as is the repsol

I'm thinking the people at Honda did the same thing we just did and thats why it isn't black.

The 600RR bue is called "Tahitian blue." And for '05, there is no 600RR repsol edition. I do dig the 600RR blue tho. I don't like the new one with the tribal flames at all tho.

Even for the 03 it's Tahitian Blue? Maybe that was on a Superhawk, but i know they have an Electric (or Electron) Blue somewhere in the lineup.

I know there isn't a Repsol 600RR ... i was saying it was gonna be a hard decision because i want the Repsol, but i dont want the 1000.

Was the Repsol ever offered in a 600?

I definatly like the all black more then the Tribal ... only 05 color i'd probly by is black.
