Well not really a paint job, but you get the point!

I have a Blue 2006 Yamaha R1, shown in the following two pictures:

Over the last two years I lowsided once, rashing up the tail section, and knocked it into my truck with the garage door, cracking the upper fairing and denting the gas tank.

I am going to replace all the damaged body work this winter, but haven't decided if I want to stay with the classic blue or go with a full aftermarket fairing kit. All trim pieces not in the kit, including the air intake ducts will be carbon fiber, and the gas tank will be black for all options except for the blue.

Comments are welcome!

So here are the choices:

1) Keep it Blue

2) Black with red

3) Black with Orange

4) Red and Black

5) Gloss Black
