    After the fiasco of trying to buy one from foenix, I decided to buy a new one.

    Here it is with the endurance lifters.

    The question is, do I go for stripping it down to give it the Repsol silver look or keeping it stock black?

    I'd go silver to match the frame and SP subframe

    Keep it black, my repsol has black frame and silver swing arm and looks fine so I'm sure the oposite will look good also

    Keep it black. I've always been a bit jealous of the Repsol owners who have black frame/subframes. Don't think the silver versions look as good...

    I didn't like black bikes much until I got mine and now I'm thinking of getting the rear passenger pegs powdercoated. Wish they werent so hard to remove!

    Actually maybe thats better and to be honest I don't think I'll ever have a passenger on it anyway.
