Blue has never been that great of a color for that bike IMO. The hot colors are the best, or black or silver...

...yep, bike started life as a bone stock HP2 Sport... ...and after quite a few modifications it became a black/red/white track bike... ...a socalled 'Hartenjager'... ...but..., those days are over... ...bikes returned (there are 2) to their base ; one stayed in these Hartenjager black/red/white colors, and this one was stripped, and became (amongst other things) a fresh and shiney new paintjob...

Looks fantastic, although I do think the lighter boxer cup blue would be even better.... This is giving me ideas

That looks ok for blue......but I still think LCPeter and Sandbar did a better job on the colours.
Cheers

I think you could paint that bike with a brush and a bucket of sheet and it would look great!
