Another decision which is becoming critical is the colour of the frame and body work.
My favourite bikes that I have owned over my 48 year riding career have all been red and black or red and polished aluminium or black and polished aluminium.
Polished aluminium is not an option for this one.
I will probably upset a few on here by saying that I do not think Ducatis look well with black frames. The iconic trellis is not sufficiently highlighted in gloss black and in satin black they just look as though the paint job wasn't very good.
If the frame is to be red then all the body work will have to be black, which is the most unforgiving colour for the home sprayer, showing every imperfection. Also with my design the bodywork is extensive and possibly overwhelming.
The bevel 750SS that Paul Smart won with at the Imola 200 with silver body work and a metallic blue green is gaining favour but I do not know the colour code for the frame colour and the only car I have seen painted in roughly that colour is a VW golf. Ho hum
