You asked ... so.. not a fan of any of em. Sorry.
Having made that nasty remark, my advice is to do whatever YOU like. THAT's what's important.
This you did not ask for, but since it's black like yours, what the heck.

I just sent him (Bryan) an email- I think I might like to get my 94 painted (single color, like an Anthracite gray with black matte or black powder coated wheels)- how do you think that would look?
I think that would look great! If he does it you won't be disappointed.

You asked for opinions, personally, I don't care for two tone paint jobs on bikes, unless it's the way it came from the factory. I like it just the way it is with the graphics that the PO had added. If it was mine, I would clean it up well and put a coat of good quality paste wax on it, then use the money you save on gas, tires, and maintenance. Just my opinion, you asked for it.

I'm going to speak with Bryan next week so it's a go and I'll post pics once it's done
Awesome!

I'd love to see the finished product!
Me too! BD has done 2 of my bikes. You'd be hard pressed to find nicer work anywhere. Your bike will look like it's under an inch of glass.

You can't tell from these pics but here is my FZ1 he did. Which by the way is for sale since I find myself riding the ST more often.

I'd wrap it all in white.. there's enough black plastic areas that you don't wrap that I think it would look good, even if it does look a bit police-ish.

That looks great! But I can't tell if you have the top of the tank blue or silver.

My YZF600r is custom painted black and white with gold accents. it's a bit "police-ish", but that's fitting.

The top of the tank looks more "blueish" because of the reflection of the sky. There is a blue base coat under the metallic silver, it just appears to be more on the tank because of the lighting. If I remember right it's House of Color Galaxy Silver.

Thanks, Davey. Blue was a thought, but I'm really enjoying the gold (although I have considered a copper color, too). Regardless, I don't plan to sell it. Of the five bikes I've owned, I've only sold one. And I wish I hadn't. The other two were totaled. The FZR due to lack of experience, and the first YZF to a commuter in too much of a hurry to take appropriate care.
