I like 06/07 black, and I like the 09 green. I think the 2011 green is the worst. I also don't like the SE Orange.

I have the 09 Monster.But I think the most popular was the 06 blue.This winter I looked on E-Bay for body parts that I scraped on low speed slides.I found a right front center rear tail and side tails.They were black but none my year.But there were alot of blue ones.Just got my Pipercross filter and my Brock Alienhead and exhaust gaskets today.I would like to get a 60 degree day to start working.

I got 06 BLUE and LOVE IT! I've done a TRANSFORMERS bike theme with emblem/logo's and everything (This is why BICEP name/plate/tag...good name for a Transformer bike

)....looks great! But when you look at all the Blue 14 colors the 06 Candy Thunder Blue looks really rich and bright......

My 2 Cents.

All look good to me. But I would take the flames off the SE's.

I thought the same thing, but got a really good deal, and it has kind of grown on me.

Hi Shane...bike all apart right now, fairings all over the garage. Doing Dyna Shiftminder/light and deciding to put my Connie dual fan rad on...if it fits. I may wait for rad swap mid summer as I now just put on a CF ZX10 front fender and may not need extra fan for cooling. When bike is all back together in week or two I WILL post pics. I got 6 kids and their friends and them love that I have Transformer bike named Bicep. Optimus Prime tank pad...blue levers, Transformer logo's on side windshield and center tail fairing.

I really appreciate your build thread(s)....and nice input to forum.....

I have the 09 SE and I was thinking of changing the color thinking of going with the Black and Silver theme or maybe just a Glossed Black. I was looking into the Diablo Paint. I am not a big fan of the schemes though I like the one color schemes better. I am not after flashy I would prefer a menacing look if you know what I mean. So I am leaning more towards the Glossed black w/the BST's if Wifey will let me get them.

No comments on what colors I don't like......

But I like my silver and think the 2010 dark red is probably the best looking IMO.

I think the 09 green is the best looking. I have never been a fan of Kawi green, I know blasphemous, but that bike is beautiful. The 09 green 14 and the 15 green ZRX are the only kawi green bikes I have ever really liked.

I think my least favorite (I dont dislike any of them) is the white and the 11 green/black. I do have to say, however, that I just went to the Kawi dealer here and I love the color of green on the 11, but think it looks pieced together. If it was all that color it would look better.
My favorites are the Monster and I think there was a silver/black SE in 2010. All black, midnight saphire blue and the blue are all close to the top too.
I would love to see the iron man themed bike.
Shane, I wouldnt touch my 14 with Krylon (since it is a 2010), but I am thinking about hitting the CBR up with it. Used to ride with a guy who repainted his bike once or twice a month with it. The best was the color changing paint.
