Personally...with a little bias, I like either the black or the red and black. I'm probably gonna get crucified on here for saying this, and I KNOW Blue is Yamaha's signature color, however I don't think blue is a good color for the R1's. I dont know what it is about the color, but to me the R1 is a bike that is MEANT to be in a darker color..Black, Dark Red, black with any other color usually looks good. I just got done accenting mine about a week ago with Atomic Orange Metallic and it turned out pretty well considering I haven't sprayed automotive paint in about 5 years or so. Check it out, tell me what you think.

Colors, colors, colors, colors (in my best Ice-T voice)

No red? Yamaha was red at one point. And yellow as well. Still, with the choices I'll go with the all black with gold lettering. You're unique and can add a little gold here in there for more accents.

personally i like the blue, but you can't go wrong with the black either. IMO those are the only two options.

I've never been a great fan of the 03, but the colour scheme on this one is the best amongst the posted photos. In general, I would rather prefer a silverish something
