bleeding eyes....i would kill the painter... : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

**FJD** · 11-25-2012, 01:27 PM

did see an GSX-R 1100 advertised, and went to look at it.
The ad had no picture, but the price seemed good, and the seller was a nice guy.
On the phone i asked about the bodywork, he said - special paintjob yellow and orange...

i was afraid.
But i went to look at it, and as he opened the garage door i went

I was soooo sad for this bike, but then again...the price was OK, and i knew it was me to save it....so i took it home.
Here´s the pics:

Werner ... it's o.k. leave the painter in peace (it's not worth it )

Contact Circus Ringling Bros and ask them if you can do your rounds in the piste

You will sort it ... just enter Classic Superbike Competition

I just find it hard to imagine the type of person, that would go to a painter and say "I want THIS..."

**zrad** · 11-25-2012, 09:54 PM

There is a ton of hours put into that and maybe different color choices would have worked better. Shame to see such time and effort turn out ugly as hell!

**tomzilla** · 11-25-2012, 09:54 PM

I don't think its that bad, but I really love the stock paint on older bikes.

sent from toaster. yeah, toaster.

well as it was the seller himself who commisioned the repaint in 1987 he said: the airbrusher was supposed to be a good one, and his wish was: something yellow and orange, and that came out, he paid a lot of money for it....

But the longer i look at it, the more i think: what a classic era bad taste

**kungfutree** · 11-26-2012, 02:46 AM

Take the black spots out of the yellow, all of the red, and take the orange off the tank and I think it would have looked better. Also a darker orange, not that orange sherbet color. That's just my opinion though

**latendresse76** · 11-26-2012, 03:27 AM

Yeah upon seeing that bike I threw up a little in my mouth... when i spit it out it kinda looked like that paint job... yea it does remind me of the 80's and it does look better than the Scarface bike that was posted a while ago
