My ZL900 is black, factory paintjob. I'm not voting on this one though as I'm planning on painting mine by the end of the year. It'll still be black, but custom.

My ZL9 has a custom painted tank with FLAMES, the sidecovers look like some IDIOT painted with a combination of brush and rattle can! :D

#1, I am not a "Flamer"!
#2, 90% of rattle cans blow **** paint!

Soon to be BACK IN BLACK! :cool10:

I'll have you know I'm not just SOME idiot. !!!

Bike is 100% original has a few flaws but I won't repaint unless I have too.

I made a mistake when voting, original black but now frame repainted in Hammerite smooth black and rest will be painted in gloss black.

Hopefully the seat will be cobra skin and the kneeguards will also have a snakeskin cover. I haven't gotten a big enough cobra skin for the seat yet but I do have 3 other cobra skins in my freezer. 555

Seems black is what is out there mostly.

The reds sure look pretty !

I was thinking how cool to take one down and sandblast everything (maybe not the engine) - buff it and clear coat the bare buffed metal - like a delorian (or zrod)

My ZL9 is black, but I have been looking hard at repainting some TBD custom color. If anyone is looking for some very cool paints check out http://www.alsacorp.com.

Looking at the results of this poll reinforces what has been found on this forum to be fact.......factory black is alot more plentiful than the red ones. My first one in 1985 was red and all others since have been the same although I will admit the black ones are really sharp with the chrome and polished aluminum all cleaned up and lookin' good! I'm partial to the red ones but I'll take one of these bad boys in either color. :laughing7:
