Well this isnt the final look seeing you can buy vinyl or decals and take em off and put em on all day.. I just wanted to get rid of the red and I'm going to go strickly black and white (plan on geting my rims done white as well) I'm thinking of doing some black lines/pattern that follows the body lines with the tank but these are all just ideas in my head ;P Thanks all for you opinions and comments great seeing the pics of the other bikes as well.
Decals or no decals?

Like the black and white look!
I think sport bikes need some decals & graphics to look cool. Just not overly done to where it looks like a full blown race bike- unless that's the look ur looking for.
Completely absent of all decals, emblems, or graphics the bikes just look weirdo to me.... But that's just my .02...
All the model year bikes I love tend to have some graphics n decals but just not too much... Am swapping my 2012 R1 fairings for 2011 specifically because the 2012 is too much imo. The decals and graphics on the 2011 make the bike look like its lighter and in motion even when it's standing still.

They are not bad at all. I let the bike sit outside in the sun for a couple hours then just peeled them off, a heat gun would work too. Just helps to release the adhesive if it's heated some. Afterwards use some sort of cleaner, goo-gone or similar, to remove remaining sticky residue.
^ This. My bike sat out in the sun all day and I got a break at work. I had some plastic razor to peel the edges and they pulled off with ease. I used diluted lacquer thinner to get the clue residue off literally took me 10 minutes.
i think the FZ6R's ALL look better with the decals saying fz6r taken off at minimum

Have you done that or know anyone who has taken the fz6r middle decal off the blue model?
i took a few off but the sticky crap is soo annoying the newer your bike the BETTER the removal will go mine is an on so it is now over 4 years old when i took them off it was alot of work to get the sticky crap off and it slightly scratched/changed the paint gloss you cant REALLY tell but.... ya just be VERY easy on the scrubing and air hose the dirt off before hand
I thought bout doing it last year, but had other projects. I'll leave it out once I get my bike put back together.
