So I need a new motorcycle and have been torn between a nice brand new 2017 light weight Honda super sports bike (CBR300RR) and the world's best selling donkey replacement; the Honda Super Cub. Price isn't an issue although one is 4 times more than the other and either will be used as a daily, round town commuter vehicle.
I was pretty set on the CBR until I thought about the many roads around here that resemble those in Basra, Aleppo or The Hindu Kush mountains - dirt and gravel tracks with pot holes big enough to bath a toddler in.
That got me leaning more towards the Cub, but the traditional colour schemes are lame even on the brand new models. So for a bit of fun I'm asking for GTP members to pitch in with their ideas and if there's a really good one I'll buy the Cub and get it painted/ vinyl'd for real within the next few weeks. IF not I guess I'll end up with a CBR.
I've got a template which can be used either digitally or with that old box of colouring pencils you haven't used in the last 12 years which is crammed into a junk draw somewhere in your house:
In the last few days I've reviewed so many liveries but none of them have really struck me as perfect, although the following are quite interesting (yes, I'm aware a Honda isn't an Italian 2-stroke ) :
So...you get the idea. All colour schemes/ liveries welcome, it doesn't necessarily have to be a racing scheme but racing colours on a Cub would be (to me) hilariously ironic.
