I would totally agree there Bud. Even the new top of the range Red Monster is too Red, with the Red frame, etc. If the whole frame was to be all black, have the Red tank and others bits Red that would be fine. The white Monster is fabulous with the red frame but then that is not too much Red is it. Am I making any sense here?

Maybe they should bring out a 999 in the grey Senna colour scheme with red wheels, now that would be a head turner kitted with Ohlin's front and rear!

I love the yellow 749S in the gallery.... (grey frame... Cooool!)

Well spotted Dan, yellow with grey frame is cool.

Interesting thread - i love the grey frame myself (though the black wheels are stunning) and having the grey frame on my 2006 749 saved me approx £1700 - cant complain with that!

You know it makes sense!

Black bodywork, Black frame, Black wheels. Luverly.

I too am a diehard RED fan BUT, if they could maybe take some ideas from the Yamaha R1 in all black !! the way that they combine the gloss black with the flat black is very nice, I think the duc could look good in black but not in its current all gloss paint. I like the stealthy look but just dont go over board with the gloss.....mix it up up with some flat !!!
