If that's the full fat Pepsi livery 8) it will be 20 pence more for the sugar tax (giggle)

I think the paint scheme suits the bike, it makes it look more like a MotoGP bike IMO.

Even the white wheels work.

I remember being a kid and a lad a year older than me who lived quite close had a Pepsi rgv250.

At the time it seemed so exotic like a works GP bike.

The comments from Whitham and Tommy Bridewell from BSB at Brands would suggest that it handles like a 600 "on steroids" , I think the Pepsi livery has always looked cool and it works well on the new bike.

Rocket has a ginger moustache.

That's the company you're keeping.

Looks unfinished. Like a model kit where someone slapped the decals on without painting it.
