My DR650 has a 3.4 gal tank, I want more capacity and can get IMS (or Acerbis) tanks in 4.9 and greater sizes.. (4.9 good for me)
colors run from white to black.. I was thinking white until I saw they have flourescent Yellow.. hum.. thoughts>? you won't offend me but I'll just say it's my kind of funky..

Yellow is the classic Suzuki motocross color...

Not unlike the exotic Aprilia 650 which was way ahead of its time.

It looks good but it is screaming for a black stripe or logo to set it off.

I did one two-tone purple. I'm not qualified to judge. :lipsrsealed:
But if I did, I'd say go for it. I like it, but you only have to please yourself.

No doubt about it being a Suzuki. Needs a big suzy S decal. Is there adequate airflow underneath?

I always liked the black Suzuki "S"

not sure about the S, how about this,

That would work!
I had the white Acerbis on my DR350. It stained almost immeadiately from exposure to red swamp mud so the yellow might have a practical advantage too
-
I like it, you can definitely see it coming down the road.
-
That yellow looks ok...do it.
BTW what's your impression of the DR so far?

Only a few hundred miles but it's way better than the several KLR's I've owned.. cruises easy with traffic flow (80mph) and could do it all day.. I need a better windscreen for that tho..
corners excellent! love the long suspension.. under powered compared to the Uly but hopefully that keeps me out of trouble.
-
And what year mfg is your DR?

2013 I have a line on full set of yellow body parts.. still unsure tho..

update: I scored a 5 gallon IMS tank on CL for less than 1/2 price of new.. sorry.. it's yellow!
It should extend my range to near 300 miles.. I was getting fed up with filling at 120..

I really like the flow of this thing, and it's not my kind of flavor at all. Beautifully done.
-
I painted a Norton a similar color. It is stylish. Go for it.
-
I have a Chiquita sticker ordered.
-
Update, stickers don't last on the plastic tank..
finished off the color scheme.. I went to DennisKirk and picked up an Acerbis fender for an RM 250.. bolt holes matched perfect so I put it on right there in the lot.

I missed this the first time through, but that looks great! :thumb:

It's easy to follow!

Looks great! Ferrari uses the yellow / gray combo a lot, if that says anything.
