My little scoot, introduced in mid-October, with the Darth Vader look. The black cleaned-up easily when we raced the red soil of Cooperland, in November.

DeCal Works plate graphics went on easily.

Do it man....It will really finish off that blacked out look. I think it will be awesome.
The rims are pretty cheap too

C'mon Jimmy Johns, get with the right saying...

"I just go slow so everyone can see my sweet looking bike."

Not that I would ever call you slow. I convinced my buddy at work who has a yellow Yamaha to black out the back leaving the yellow front. It looks darn trick I gotta say.

Not a fan of the black! Plus wait and see all the scratches!
Ever owned a blue Yamaha...? Scratches show after rolling it out of the showroom!

Probably red is the best color for plastic, but I didn't want a red bike, unless it is a new '09 CR450!

Holigan, those were sweet looking bikes.

Highsider, looking nice so far. Now you just need some cool graphics for it.

I can't believe there hasn't been anybody saying negative things yet. There seem to be some people around here that say everybody with black bikes are FMX wannabes. That obviously isn't the case, but some seem to think that. I did black on my bike, and I sure don't want to do FMX...

I went with the black look on my 144 just to prove I'm not racist.
