Post by Kwacky »

Some images are floating around the internet suggesting that one of the colour scheme for the bike will be white/titanium effect

I'm not so sure on that.
It almost looks unfinished from what I can see on my phone.

I'm not too keen. I don't think the white goes with the titanium. An all white bike would look better.

It just doesn't register.

It's the new beige...it's just bland looking.

I bet the view out the front window is decent though.

I like the Ti look too...but only when it is actually Ti....otherwise it looks like it's pretending to be something it's not.

I don't like the Kawk green, I'm sorely tempted to paint my track bike black.

That said white is one of my least favourite vehicle colours and yet I've ended up with a white car and bike, so it's slowly growing on me.

First white bike - stolen

Second white bike - crashed

Third white bike - engine failed.

I think I'll avoid white.

Mind you I've crashed every bike I've ever owned bar the Multi!

At least you actively have one Kwacky... Others just hap back to when they used to ride.

They're still doing the green/black combo so purists can be happy
