    If it's good enough for them it's good enough for me. If I never had a new kitchen to pay for this would be on my list of toys. :)

    The solid red needs some black flashes on the tank / upper fairing maybe ?

    Not sure about it - like the plain and simple idea / theme but is it too simple?

    Must say the TT Legends pic above looks the nuts it really does - how much for that I wonder from spray bay?

    If you take a pic of the HRC then one of the plain red one and tell em which you prefer, they'll probably keep you in over night ! ;)

    I don't like the plain red blade.

    I like a lot of the Ducatis in plain colours - red, black, even yellow. And the rc8's look mustard in the white, orange or black. I think the 2013 Fireblade has excellent lines which could be accentuated by the simpler colour schemes.

    TBH Lambeth the 2012 UK Red Fireblade as below is not that much different from the Yankee one in my eyes?

    You also state the 2013 lines are nice? They are the same as the 2012 Bike, only change as far as I know for 2013 is the colours, all of which (including the Repsol) are worse than 2012 designs IMHO!

    2012 UK Red Fireblade!

    Uk one looks better because of the stickers but I don't like the white rear end and front mud guard, they should be red with a small amount of white detail IMO

    I hear you, Sine. I could have said the 2012 bike. I find the British design too fussy. For me the simple, strong US colours show off the lines and curves rather than breaking them up.

    I agree in a way, the UK versions white tail just don't look right does it?

    Neither does the white front mudguard, however I like the front fairing and tank stickers of the UK bike.


    Bit of both would be best! :D
