I thought it would be fun to share my progress on my 2008 Kawasaki Versys 650. I bought this bike last February and I'm not a huge fan of motorcycles that are red but it was a good deal on the bike so I decide to run with it! My first step was painting it a matte olive green which then led to many smaller details that complimented the color.
I hope this helps motivate you to modify your own motorcycle too!
