RSV4 Color Variations...

[dougan]

I should be working... but obviously I have more important things to do. These are just some photochop-jobs... I wanted to see what some variations to the Red would look like.

I've always been partial to bright yellow--and I still really like it--but the black/white combo looks very good. Thanks!

[MASHMAN]

I've always been partial to bright yellow--and I still really like it--but the black/white combo looks very good. Thanks!

:plus::plus::plus::plus: although the White/Black looks silver black to me... and the Silver ones being faster and all that... but the yellow does look damned tasty...

[adracer]

Must be my monitor--I thought it was white. Even reprogramming my mind for "silver" it still looks quite good.

[burntout]

good work. Black one looks best, followed by black and white - everyone knows black is fastest - something to do with reflecting less light meaning the light doesn't slow it down, or something.

[rx7tt95]

Needs blue wheels :)

[jandrade]

Looks just like the cbr100rr

[duc slayer]

I think it would look the "TIT'S" with the golden pearl from the 01 rsvr

[Tarrasque]

Blue with Blue wheels please.... and I will be a happy man.

[RXV_Poor]

I bet the all black one is the fastest!

[slowmike]

any chance someone can do a black/graphite bike with gold RSV and a blue 4?

BTW, I've been lurking a while and wanted to say hi.

[budoist]

Looks just like the cbr100rr

The CBR looks more like the 1098 (which in turn looks more like the D675 that started the trend) than either looks like the RSV4.

[scottyni]

black all the way, no blue wheels as nothing else blue on the bike.

all black for the menace look

[BikerBrit]

Needs blue wheels :)
and don't forget the gold frame that we all know will appear on the showroom floor.:D

[Stick]

All black....gold wheels....gold 4....and hell no to the pinkish looking shit! Hey dougan...put an RSVR tail section on that sucker.

[Highway9Rider]

either keep it red and black and use RED FUCKIN WHEELS.

or....keep it red and black and use a gold frame with EXACT matching gold rims and gold levers. gold frame sliders....

[spaz_666]

The CBR looks more like the 1098 (which in turn looks more like the D675 that started the trend) than either looks like the RSV4.

Speaking of the Daytona, some of Dougan's colors are close to Triumph's Scorched Yellow, Roulette Green, & Pacific Blue.

try throwin some other Triumph colors on that sucker like Lucifer Orange, Sunset Red, or Graphite!

[jandrade]

how about white...or red with white wheels

[Maxacceleration]

Dougan, take a chance and use other than the jap big four colors.
The black/red release color looks the best to me....
Funny how its always pictured on the opposite side of the gargantuan exhaust can...

[longfingers]

Gotta be green, no sure aboot 4 cylinders though, v4's are good, better than straight 4, but can ya replace a twin?????????????

[Mark76]

I'm kind of fond about the blue. The yellow isn't bad, but I'd buy the blue.

[AZRen]

Even a mus...turd gold frame couldn't louse this beauty up. J/K don't do it!

I think all the MFG's are in bed with the aftermarket on cans. I can't believe some of the monstrosities they're putting on stock bikes today. Embarrasing to leave the lot.

[PallOlavsson]

Even though my photoshopping skills aren't as good as Dougans, I decided to give it a try :D

Here is the "black" model by Dougan, made into red, with Red wheels by me :cheers: :

[RossGuzzi]

I think the black one 2nd down, with blue (OZ Rims) would look COOL !

Can anyone photo shop that??

[Miticale]

black on black slickkkk

[soofle616]

black and white is hot. black and red looks too hondaish for me. kawi green has gotta go. black on black is always nice but im so used to it (my '01 is all black including the frame and swingarm) that it really doesn't do much for me on a new bike anymore. My vote is for black and white with blue oz's or maybe the nera orange wheels

[jimuk]

I would like aprilia to incorporate the lion head into it some way.

[2pist]

But it does really deserve a Black frame. The original colors with a black frame would make it the best looking bike in the universe.

[ressveeeare]

Anychance you could do a Repsol one??

My brother in law is going to buy a CBR 1000RR so it might be funny to send him that lol

[sks700]

yellow for me please!

[rx7tt95]

I have a feeling Aprilia's holding back the black frame for European 2010 model year meaning we'd get it in 2011. :bangwall:

Glad your with me on that one RX, I hope the factory is watching this thread.
They got it so close. One of my buddies told me the other day if it had a black frame his deposit would be down... So would mine.:burnout:

Somebody skilled with Photoshop should try their hand on a black frame with the stock black and red factory colors...

[rx7tt95]

For me, it'd be more about keeping the frame looking good. Powder coating is pretty tough and hard to scratch compared to bare aluminum. I'd prefer it from a durability standpoint alone! Just don't pull a Yamaha and paint it that awful red color the Euro guys are going to get. And I thought the gold frames were bad.

[Silent-Chris]

I really like the black and yellow. The yellow would go great with my Triumph :)

[ChicagoFactory]

The black and blue look good, but it would look better with blue wheels.

[PallOlavsson]

Black/red RSV4 with blackframe/swingarm request ;)

You guys were right! It does look damn tasty! :cheers:

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn141/PallOlavsson/RSV4.jpg

Please comment on how the photoshopping was, so I can improve on criticism :D

Great ps work but the rsv4 frame is to beautiful to be blended in with the rest.

Nice job! looks perfect. I have no idea how to use photo shop but your talent makes me want to learn how. I like the black frame. Mean and Nasty.

[RossGuzzi]

Excellent photoshopping !!

I prefer the black frame too. Now try red and black with blue wheels (oz rims) and then the all black frame and bike with blue wheels. I think that would be a killer look !

Cheers!

[PallOlavsson]

Okay, please tell me these will be the last I have to do with colour changes in wheels! :cheers:

Cheers.

[Silent-Chris]

That all black with the blue wheels is exactly what I want!!!!!!!!

[RossGuzzi]

I think the red and black with OZ wheels is the pick, closly followed by the all black OZ.

Awsome work, thanks for the effort !

Aprilia watching??

How`s this for a challenge,...........On the black bike, the RSV4 logo on the side of the bike colored blue and fading into red where the 4 is. Also the aprilia on the tank to be red. Lettering only, no 'box' around the word. Sexy !

Tell me to piss off if you want, but this is dam fun !! If only I had time and skills to do it.........

Cheers!

[mr_ace5288]

can we try 06 factory colours?

black with gold frame and wheels :)

[PallOlavsson]

Got to go eat now.. But this is also fun for me, to see how good I can get the results :) Much more fun than the usual "nature picture" editing :D, and also good training :)

Will post pictures of these up tonight:
06 factory colours?

I might have misunderstood what you wanted? :P.. And sorry about the aprilia logo on the tank, didin't really work out :cheers:

[Felix Da Cat]

That black frame and black fairings look wicked... I want that one too :D

[mr_ace5288]

that gold one is mutz :)

brighter gold would be rad :)

[ressveeeare]

What about a White and lime green one?

[PallOlavsson]

Oh of course, no problem :) I will just do all the tens of thousands of different gold colours available :cheers: :rolleyes:

Just kidding! :kidding:, but please guys, dont hold back with ideas, I will try and do them as well as I can, even if I cant get anywhere near the skills of "Dougan", but I'm improving :cheers:

Will start working on that tomorrow! :D

You guys are lucky that i've only got school at the moment, and the weather is too bad for motocross training :cheers:

FYI: Pouring rain, while snow is still "on the ground", and alot of wind.. and everything is just muddy and a real mess up here :cheers:

[mr_ace5288]

lol i didnt mean for you to actually do it, likeness was good enough to stem the mind!

No, thats it !

I like the blue to red fade. Perhaps the aprilia logo`s need to be a little more understated. Perhaps blue for both?

Well done !!

[PallOlavsson]

Here's the newest idea :D Enjoy! :cheers:

[Burnout]

Very nice, just for my taste :)

[kostas]

firts of all you do a great job on photoshop , secondly my personal taste is black bike with red whells this red on nera whells this will be the best match for sure as for the frame it will be covered with carbon so no pro i order mine V4 last week i deposit 10000 eyro on my dealer to have it first in GREECE very necessary to me :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:

[dougan]

Pall.... I love that color scheme. I've wanted to build a Light Grey+Blue bike for a while. I've done a few photoshops with my past Supermoto bikes.

I would like to see more bikes in light grey.... I think its the new dark grey.... I'm tired of dark grey cars, bikes, etc.

Light grey makes accent colors Pop better: Blue, Green, Red, Deep Yellow, etc.

nice work on the frame masks... they look pro.

[PallOlavsson]

Thanks Dougan :) yeah, I agree :)

I like "lighter" colours alot more, i'm getting bored of black bikes with black wheels (No offense KK)..

I dont say No thank you, to carbon fiber.. but i'm getting more and more into blue/red/green and others :D

People :) ideas are still accepted :cheers:

[dougan]

Just wanted to see what it looked like without the Tail Plastic Mess... and the mirrors.

little darker blue.

[PallOlavsson]

Very nice :D I pm'ed you :cheers:

[budoist]

Great job on the photoshops. The black with blue wheels seems to have made its debut in Portgual testing! More ideas... Bol D'or replica?

[PallOlavsson]

I'm working on a replica as we write.. :cheers:

Does anyone else think of Darth Maul when they see this?

[2pist]

And as far as criticizing your work PallOlavsson, coming from somebody that has the artistic talents of a 3 year old, (me) I have none....

[crojack]

nice work on the frame masks... they look pro.

This is a color that I've always thought would look great on a bike. If you haven't seen this car color in person, it's great. pics don't do it justice.

I've always thought it would make a great bike color with maybe some burnt orange accents.

[RSVRCorser]

tried to attach RSV ass to it :rolleyes::

[Kid A]

Someone needs to attach a V-twin to it as well:happy:


With the new R1 having an uneven firing order, do you think the RSV4 will now be an overpriced, not so unique, option?

I really think they did a no - no by making it a 4 cylinder. Unless this is the basis for launching a MotoGP effort.

[PallOlavsson]

Quite unique photoshopping RSVRCorser! very cool! :cheers:

I'd imagine a v4 is still going to be more narrow than an I4

And I dont' see how the firing order makes it any less unique. Twins sure do sound sweet. But so do those motogp bikes....

If there is a a reason I hear over and over that people buy anything other aprilias, be is Ducs or Yahamas or whatever is this "I hear parts are impossible to get" or hearing horror stories about warranty issues, etc... which is why (i think) lotsa people bought RC51s and not as many bought Milles..

[Kid A]

lotsa people bought RC51s

I think the RC51 was cool and sold well because it was a V-twin. Different from the generic mold.

There are now only 2 options for a superbike with a V-twin, Ducs & KTM

[kostas]

can you plz someone make the original REd black color and just add the nera color wheel on the wheels as i have them and i want to sse how the will look on it 15 april i will have it yioupiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
v4 on the way to meeeee

[jrflanne]

Not that I will ever buy one but the light gray/blue is a great look. And note to Aprilia. Never, ever, build another bike with a gold frame. Ever.

[SoulDaddy]

If the gold frame was more of a gold and not a baby-shit brown it wouldn't have been so repulsive. And maybe less than three different shades of gold on the bike would be a good idea, too.

The black Factorys aren't exactly hideous, though.

[SPEKTRE76]

The black red with blue wheels! Damn tasty...in fact I think I gained a pound looking at it.

[PallOlavsson]

Here is an original one, with red Nera wheel colour, as requested by kostas :cheers:
