You see they have used the blue bike and gold wheels, are they trying to copy the subaru's when they used the blue impreza and had gold wheels?

Who knows Twincam but I think it's a pretty good looking ride.

I dont know if its just me, but i personally just like either one or two colours. I dont seem to click with the three colours e.g. blue, black AND white. Blue and black would have been nice, but IMO the white breaks it up.
