Its a bit of a Mongrel

Finally been able to update my profile to Multiple Monsters
Bought a 1998 M600 Dark, needs a bit of TLC, but should be OK for an everyday hack

I'm considering some subtle changes, say, bright yellow seat cover, side panel, engine casing & rear hugger

To be honest Its not as clean as the photo's would suggest.
Scratches and rust spots here and there,but it is 16 years old, and I think I have been spoilt with my S2R
The milage is a LOT higher than the seller claimed, (new clocks fitted I think)but it does run and handle ok
At first I wasn't sure if id'e done the right thing, but now I am starting to tinker and change bits I am starting to fall for the old girl

I am thinking Bright PINK,
To be honest it is too yellow for me, so I am starting to try and tone it down

Get rid of hideous nose cone

Actually, I'm rather liking the colour scheme now the yellow screen and front mudguard have gone.
Yellow tank with yellow frame looks good to my eyes.
Needs to lose the mirrors though.

Ye I think your right, bar ends might help it look a bit more aggressive
