Title: Best paint for the Ducati 696 and 1100
Post by: HoodA on September 30, 2009, 08:44:38 AM
Hey guys I was wondering what colour you guys like on the monsters, the red is iconic but is it too much...

Anyways I like the black but I think I would also paint the swing arm black as well, kinda undecided.

Anyways whats you opinions, or have you seen any custom jobs we should see?

Red is the fastest color, as well as being iconic.  :)

 I chose red because it is widely known as the fastest color and attracts the most women.  ;)
Also I like gloss black with the red frame, but what color combo that has been on my mind is the 07' s4rt titanium/red frame combo which might find it's way to my 696 soon.

I pulled the matte black from a 696 and put them on my red frame 1100.

Playing with the color options on the camera.  Hyper focus on the red. 

Fender eliminator kit was shipped today so that ugly reflector in the back will be gone soon.  :)

personally I think black is overdone.  Any given gathering of bikers, take a look at how many black bikes there are. 

that said, it's your bike, get what makes you happy.  I prefer my ducs red, white with a red stripe is good too.

Those gold forks really draw the eye (I love white Monsters with red frames).  My other favorite is titanium with red frame (ala S4R).
