    So I picked up a 91 VFR750 last fall and am deciding if I want to paint it or not. The bike is currently red and has some minor rash on the one side. So the question is: Should I keep it red or paint it white?

    What's your vote?

    I would say go for the white. There are so many of the red's out there. Mine used to be red, now is white. I do a lot of commuting, I think people think I'm a cop at first glance, don't get as many riding my butt on the road.

    Put it back to red, but add a bit of red pearl to it to set it off in the sun. White wheels and white stock graphics.:thumbsup:

    I like white, but don't sell yourself short on other colors or a mix, I'm thinking RWB here.

    If I had to choose between only red or white, it would be white. That body style looks sweet in that color.

    I'd say white. But if you do, try to replace the decals. A bike just looks wrong when it's been repainted and left free of decals, IMO.

    If I ever repainted my 4th Gen, I'd want to do it in yellow. I've seen pictures of someone who did that w/ their 4th Gen, it looked badass.

    If you are going to get it painted, make it something special to you

    My buddy painted his '98 all pearl white with red accents, and it looks AWESOME!

    Do it. Do it. Do it.
