Not sure of its the angle of the photo or what but I don't like the look of the bike looks odd.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Agree the ms colours dont look great. Hopefully it's just in the photos and looks better in the flesh.

I think the Motorsport colours look good. I think its the muppet in front of the bike on the MCN photo that ruins it. :D

I like those colours. If anything I'd prefer the frame to match the swingarm.

Rim tape is gay I agree.

I like the bare alloy swingarm and not sure if it would work but bare alloy frame could possibly be nice. The problem with the black coating IMO is it marks and scuffs easily.

I think the black bike comes with a black frame and black swingarm.

The 2015 ms colours are actually very similar to the HP4.

Do you find yourself being followed around by a Golden Retriever?

Pmsl, you have to skwint I admit, but it's blue where the hp4 is blue, black where its black and white where its white so not a million miles away in fairness.
