I was just looking at the new graphics for the 07 bikes and I'm not a big fan. Too much checker board / lion head.
I guess I'm a big solids kind of guy. I really liked the Red/Grey 04 color scheme. And thats probably why I bought one.

I have a black RSVR 04, but the color scheme i like the most is the white 05 (or is that an 06????). And therefor I would like to see the V4 in a white factory kind of way......Originally Posted by milleRrrr

I like the lions on the current Mille's, but that checkered theme on the Tuono has got to go!
I'm hoping they take a play from Ducati's book and keep it simple. If the bike is good enough, you don't need a gaudy paint job to sell it.
I've always had a soft spot for the blue Aprilias. The 2000 Mille in blue was the only color I really liked. For a couple of years Falcos came in blue, different from the early Milles but very very sharp.
So I'm voting for blue. Minimum of graphics. If the bike is stonkin' you don't need garish graphics.
(And if a bike isn't stonkin' you still don't need garish graphics. But that's just me)

"the Tuono is a wonderful blend of crazy and crafty…It's like dating a porn queen, except when you take her home she puts her hair up in a bun, dons her glasses and does your tax returns for you." –Gabe Ets-Hokin
guess who got confirmation today about the very first v4's being ready end of this year........ and one coming my way....and another one in the shop....

Let the "I'm your mate, pick me, pick me" begin. It's good to hear that someone on here is gonna get their hands on one. I look forward to hearing all about it, once you have your breath back and your testicles have dropped back out of your throat...Originally Posted by cwalker
I don't know you, but PICK ME PICK ME, i could do with a bike back in the UK
Well then...how much are they going to cost???Originally Posted by cwalker
"Tuono doesn't want to gently take your hand and guide you on a trip, it wants to rip it off and run away with it! I always get the feeling that to ride a Tuono you have to be a real man, prepared to fight it every step of the way, where as on the Triumph you can have an off day and not be left feeling inadequate"

The Ducati paint scheme looks awesome, that's what one of the V4 colors should be..![]()

once upon a time, and probably also the very last time at that, a car manufacturer uttered some very wise words: (henry ford on the Ford T): we can do you ANY colour, as long as it's black!Originally Posted by Frazzermac

Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits. Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. Learn to swim!!!
Solids & Give me the Damn V4 Mmmm
I hope my wife allows me the get the damn bike.
