My White R12S!
I had a friend do a photoshop job on my R12, looks pretty cool ! A bit on the chromy side..
 I want to see if I like a white version, so I can decide if i want to paint it Alpine White!

+1 On the Photoshop
Heard to avoid the effect when changing up to lighter colors and still retaining some level of density in the shadows, but the effect still has it's own pizazz!
Pearl white is discretely flashy, but the BMW white is so fresh and looks good on a bike with sharp, light body work. White confidently enhances it. M

Yes
I think it's a clean solution shreddr!
Besides leaving a bit of CF here and there, how much of the plastic might you be thinking of painting -or not? Any graphics? Hard to tell from just this profile. Personally, I think this bike looks great monochromatic, and in particular the Alpine White. Always liked the all black version because it absorbed the plastic bits. What color are you thinking for your wheel set? Sorry for the sporadic log-ins, and notes from the road. Mark S
