I got the blue speedmaster, but nothing i've seen was as awesome as the 04' yellow....till now that is. I took the pic of the yellow one i had and photoshopped it till it was my favorite color, tho i wasn't sure whether my favorite color would also be my favorite color for a bike. Now i'm sure ! Look at this...maybe it's just me and my peculiar taste in colors, but i do believe i'm gonna have to try and find someone who can paint it down the road sometime because this is just to much for me to take....

Could be good. But i'd likely stop at the tank just to be safe because it's just awesome as is, and to save $. But yea, the right pattern could look great in back. What really gets me, and i guess maybe it's that my color preferences are different than most, but i always seem to find the colors i think look incredible no one uses. It's alway blue, red white, black, but i never see the colors that stun me like this one. Well, almost never.....the yellow was awesome, tho not as much as this.

Looks close to the Tangerine used on the new T100.

Not too far from the Orange on the HD sporty "daytona". Looks great. Super job with PhotoShop!

Hee hee....actually there was zero photoshop expertise involved at all. With some pics that are mostly black and white shades and have little color in them except for one thing like that pic, (only real saturated color was the tank) all you have to do is go to the hue/saturation adjustment and slide the hue slider back and fourth and watch the tank go thru every imaginable shade w/o affecting the rest of the pic enough to even notice. but again, only with those certian pics like this one does it work this perfectly.

Thats why i had to buy the SM....back in the day when i rode in the 70's thru the early 80's i always had a picture of the perfect bike for me. and the SM closely resembles that. then you add that color and it certainly is my dream bike.
However, i guess the server the pic is stored on has had it's daily transfer quota, so no more pic today.
