    Also think that looks 10x better than the old colours. Big improvement IMO. The old colours were looking a little old hat...

    Are the wheels orange on the older bikes? These look really nice.

    I've been waiting for this bike to come back from the paint shop, thanks for the heads up 1980 ill pop up and take a look over the weekend. I bought granthams last repsol and from the pic I prefer mine, but having just purchased a new repsol I'm bound to say that?

    I think it looks nice, just could do with being covered over in black lol

    Probably just the lighting, but the orange on the wheels looks darker than the orange on the fairings.

    I dont dislike it, but the lines dont compliment the bike.
    I always think that graphics should compliment the bikes lines, too many opposing angles for me.
    My vote is for the current scheme, and not just cos I got one, lol
    like the belly pan tho...

    I think that's what I was getting from it, it almost seems like an oversized repsol sticker has be just chucked on as an after thought, I actually think it throws the shape of the bike all funny and gives the illusion that its an odd shape (this all makes sense in my head!)

    I love the Repsol Blade but agree that the colours don't flow that well, especially the bit under the HRC logo and the headlights ... just too squared off.

    Agree with the comments about the Orange wheels not matching the Orange on the fairings etc?

    i am 99% sure its not original colors
    1st honda will never put number on the fairing
    2nd honda never had that crapy CBR stickers on the side
    3rd the front fender looks a lot like a chinese fairing part ...

    i am preaty sure its not original, also i cant find it on the official page only the original .
    so probobly fake.
    not photo shop but chinese fairings

    it's a Grantham Honda special, they often have bikes painted up as specials and this is their motoGP replica special, and are 2012 blades
