Give us a pic of the whole bike so we can see the carbon to paint ratio and placement

We could have a vote

I'll wheel it out and take a few shots
its a nice day. so feck I might even ride it
I really think its going to need paint though TP
but I am thinking of maybe some sort of GT black stripe down the middle ?

I agree it needs some kind of paint - but don't go for a GT stripe, it'll make it look like a Mini or some kind of Maxpower car!
IMHO it's gotta be a plain colour - I've seen 9*6's that have had paintjobs on them that try to pick out the lines of the tank etc but they just look ****. (since when has s h 1 t been a censored word??)

Paint it black but leave the carbon showing through the Ducati lettering - boring I know, but at least it looks tasteful.

Well I may have to have another change of colour.
as hard as it is for me to except
I may have to go RED
the black has been great. but I want to leave some carbon on show with this tank and it wont work in the black
also resale values are best with red items I believe.
so keep your eyes pealed as the bike will take on a new shade in the spring
