P.S. The paint job on the candy cane one is the dog's dick as they say in the old country (free translation: looks great) .

Good job Ron!
At the first moment I didn't like red/grey paint scheme, but looking at your bike I'm changing my mind. Time for a Laser exhaust (Jeannet permitting...) !!??

[RoLoo]

...Ron told Jeannet Ron is definitely out of Laser money...
...first a (painted) hugger...

...if I have a better picture I'll mail you one ; in real this color scheme looks very good...

Roloo, that paint job is awesome! You and Steve really cooked up a good look for this bike and it nice seeing it become a reality. There was some other really early photoshop's that Steve had done for the R1200S before the bikes were even available that had a really nice addition to the paint scheme as well. Steve had photoshopped a yellow R1200S on Lennie's request that had a matching paint scheme on the tail section too. They basically had added paint to the top flats on either side of the passenger seat cowl section. Very sharp finishing detail IMO. Just a thought. Steve...can you whip one of them specials up for him?

That was johnnydanger. Him and HugoVW are the true Jedi Masters of photoshop paint schemes. I just like to abuse the tool...

Colour change photoshop request

I love the way it finishes the bike, very sweet. The Roundels shouldn't be messed with, very original though I would think. With that said I would say I like your bike very much, nice job.

[motoyoyo]

Steve, that's the thread I was thinking about. Yes, HugoVW and jonnydanger are true photoshop masters, but you are definitely becoming a wizard yourself. Nice work.

Here's the painted tail section I was refering to that would look nice in addition to the painted bellypan, in red of course. Steve, I'll give you permission to modify this pic as you see fit. I'm sure Hugo and jonny won't mind...maybe Lennie will though.

[Daniel Restrepo]

i like it

[Steve Carlton]

I ran it through my photoshop laundry with my red pajamas. Oops...

I think the red roundels look AWESOME!

I replaced all seven blue roundels on my wife's black M Roadster with some that are Carbon Fiber (OK...fake carbon fiber...), and I think they really make the car look great.



Up until now, I never cared much for the candy-cane paint job on the R1200S....but MAN....now I WANT ONE BAD!!!!!!!!! I just might have to bite off your style!

...hmmm, don't know, they are not that 'sacred' for me, I always had it in mind. Once I made them on the computer for my former BCR, and Johnny Danger photoshopped them once into RoLoo's S (BTW he named his creation that way ; not me, but I liked it...)

see ; red/white roundels



...I just like it to give a bike a certain different look by changing some little things ; and IMO the blue/white roundels didn't quite match with the rest ; now they do...

...and regarding to motoyoyo's idea of the tailpart in red/silver/black ; don't know...; think it will be become a little too much of the stripe theme... ; now there is a some sort of harmony. Busy at the front, calm at the back...

...what I truly like to see is a black exhaust on my bike...(not the pipes ; only the muffler)

...regarding the red roundel thing ; after buying the bike, and making the first few pictures I did this...

I think the painted roundels make the bike, personally.

I used to have a yellow roundel clock painted on the wall of my garage. Some loved it, some hated it...but I thought it looked cool (which is all that mattered since I was the guy making the mortgage payment). Plus it was dirt-cheap to do, and took up otherwise boring unused space on the wall in the garage.

[Steve Carlton]

That painted clock is cool!
