BMW's new paint scheme...

Baldy · 12-27-2001, 01:15 PM

Whacha think? I kinda like it but MCN thinks it sucked . And I know fish is gonna woof because sharks don't do yellow.

Sorry...can't do it. If I were in the market for an R, I'd have to find a leftover, or even a slightly used one. This is the work of genuine amatuers, and I'm deeply disappointed that BMW would actually release this graphic POS. :puke

Beg to differ. I find it - dare I say it? - almost attractive. Well, it doesn't make me vomit. Isn't that good enough?

You know..

I wish BMW would have come out with a paint job that has not been done before..Looks to much like a Kenny Roberts RD350 Yamaha for me..

with an fuglier shade of yeller...

Not for me. However, they'll prolly wind up painting a few nice bikes with that color, have 'em not move outa showrooms, and be forced to give substantial deals on 'em just to get 'em outa the place. That's how I got my hideously ugly green RT a few years back...

ya take that factory shit right off and expose the bike to its soul

paint is a relative thang, just look at all them cruisers with crazy paint

It's okay, but not very original; Yamaha had a very similar paint design in the 70s as I recall.

dudeman · 02-15-2002, 02:50 PM

ah yeah right exactly the same?

look close dude the bmw has gray checks on tank and seat fairing.........

might be similar but not exactly the same.:):

so let me see any new bike that uses a similar color or a similar paint scheme is a copy cat and they are just being lame?

sounds like you need to stick to monochromatic colors, cause i'd hate to have to call you a copy cat.

sticks and stones may break my bones but factory colors will never defeat me:cool:

i tend to think anyone buying a bike or not, due to color is a flake.

all the paint companies have tens of thousands of colors to chose from.

and further more i belive the reuo bikes come plain ole vanillian falvored so the discriminating euro-fag can easily personalize their sled or for the true vanillia bean riders they can just look like sheep in the factory flock

Dudeman, I think you are a complete " Tosser ". Your views on europeans is offensive. Virtually all manufactures play safe, and are conservative when it comes to the paint schemes of motorcycles. Not everyone wants flames, skulls and naked women painted on their petrol tanks. I personally think they look very 70s ( glam rock, slade, t rex and all that ).
And if you are attempting to sell your work as an airbrush artist, judging by your previous work shown on your site I advise you not to have too many joints, I honestly believe that my 7 year old nephew has more talent and certainly more skill as an artist to do a better job.

dudeman · 02-23-2002, 03:59 PM

yeah i am not an airbrush artist, never claimed to be one.

in fact i specialize in old school hot rod atr so there

ah yeah a eurofag is someone that rides a european bike in the states:eek:

as opposed to a harley troll or squid..........

i paint bikes every day and make pretty good loot doing it

in fact my paint has helped many many bikes win trophies at major events to include best of show at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days (mid-ohio) 1999

and yeah i dig these little expressions......

so go ride yer souless bike as many miles as you can, i ride spirited miles all year here in michigan any weather anytime........

a 1964 BSA cyclone one of 194 produced

so ah you should know who you are personally calling out dude

dudeman · 02-23-2002, 04:04 PM

can't wait to see his art on yer sled one morning as you head out for a ride

its nice to see you support yer nephews talent for art:):

ps: that bsa that won mid ohio, and how bout all them europeans with the crazy paint jobs on the olympic teams this winter eh
