what's up guys. I just picked up a 04 r1 with a clean title from a local auction with 3700 miles and a full micron exhaust. The bike needs all the fairngs. I was wondering what is the best paint scheme for the 04-06 r1. I am going to do a quick flip on this bike and want to see what you guys think about what color to do the bike so that it would sell quick. Thanks

Don't put that nasty yellow on it... as that paint scheme didn't come out until 2006. The 04 paint schemes were blue, silver and red. I'd go with the silver as it's not seen a lot but looks really good. :fact

all white is by far the best color... but if your just gonna sell it, put a Yellow body kit on it and tell the dummy you sell it to that its the limited edition... and that its worth more

that cerulean silvers a great colour. only seen it on FJRs but it is very snazzy indeed. that pic of the r1 with it looks great, but if i could pick i'd have more cerulean silver bits and less light silver bits.

anyway, an R1 is a great canvas. tough to pick a bad scheme really.
