Let me see your custom paint for ZX6R 2019+, I'm getting a new one and the only available color on our place is the KRT one. To be honest, it is kinda not good imo but let me see your custom paint zx6r so I can get an idea what custom colors are good for this bike thanks!

Can't help you 19+ with custom color schemes.... I do have to say my favorite schemes in the past 14 years have been the '09 green scheme (very simple green with black lowers) and the 2015 anniversary green/black/white. That one really popped. I agree, the KRT layout is very busy.

Simple large bodies of one color look better, to me. Complicated designs with tons of intricate detail don't do it for me. I am of the opinion that the more lines and angles you have the more it breaks up the shapes involved in the design of the bike.

Part of the poetry of the design, can best be highlighted by simple elements which do not distract.

Yeah the simple green without too much red and black is fine like the 2021. I was thinking of imitating the Ultra Dark color scheme of Aprillia RSV4 with bronze wheels not sure how it will look tho

Hi Bro! im from the PH too.

Honestly im a fan of plain colors or two colors at the most.
Didnt go for the matte gunmetal because even if it looks good up close and while not moving, it still generally looks like a black blob when in motion.

Initially didnt like the 23 KRT but i thought it was a big step up from the previous KRT (with white bottom) because at least this is mostly just green + black, with red accent.
Plus high visibility colors i think always helps in tight urban environments like the PH.

The best part is, this is ONLY recent KRT so far that has a LONG green line which connects the front side fairing all the way to the tail fairing. This IMO is a key design aspect that has to come out in a sportbike because it accentuates the long pointed tail, making the big look longer and sleeker. Plus having green as dominant color makes the mike look wider and taller. very ducati-esque :))

Heres what i mean! Just look at that gorgeous long green line that stretches from tail to front!

The only reason I don’t like the white is the two pieces on the side that covers the frame arnt lined up. Idk why they did that but once you see it you can’t unsee it. With the darker colors the black frame doesn’t stick out so much. But on the white it’s really noticeable that the upper and lower plastic piece doesn’t have the same profile.

anyone else notice this? It’s not letting me upload pics or id show what I’m talking about. It’s really noticeable on the white ones tho. Talking newest gen here. 19-23

Hi there,

I'll probably wait and think first before I wrap a different color on my bike. I think the color scheme takes a lot of time to get used to it lol
