One of the nicer colours Honda have produced on the 600's for a few years imo.

The blue is really striking in person. I don't normally take a second glance at bikes, but this turned my head. Looks awesome.

Thats the one I wanted to get. Couldn't justify spending that much at the time though!

i still cant justify it, i think that its going to look dated very quickly, like when u look at a early/mid 90`s bike, they look like old tracksuits.

How bad does my late 80's bike look then

Older bikes are classics. Compare a 70's bike to an 80's, 80's, to 90's... My dad absolutly LOVES his Kwaka 900 from the mid 70's, just as much as he loves his 2002 Nelli LE. Just different bikes, the earlier one being THE superbike of its day.
tbh, I think most sports bikes all look the same these days, hence why I love my more exoctic bikes as theres passion there that just doesn't come on jap bikes these days (IMO....). In the early days, GSXRs, CBRs, FZR's, ZXR's all looked totally different, where they all look similar today. A different paintjob doesn't justify £800!!!!!!! Dammmm I could have the whole bike re-painted for that! Danny, yours really doesn't look dated, its a future classic. Soon enough clean ones will go up in value, just like RGV250's, KR1S etc...
With the CBR, that colour scheme looks like a girls bike. I'd expect a lass with long hair to remove her lid, with sparkly bits on her face, and glitter on her leathers..
IMO K3's is MUCH better colour scheme. I really liked the Ten Kate scheme they done. No pictures really show it (it just looks white and black), but the white is actually a really nice pearl effect paintjob white. Just looks white in pics...
Ahhhh 80's bikes, FZR 0W01's... Sure they were late 80's. Ducati 851 and 888 certainly doesn't look "Dated" either (imagine google them  ). I'd still love an 851/888 to this day. That was the biek that put Ducati on the map with WSB success, not the 916 as most people think. Bikes that are visually still stunning.

Ohhhh man you got to ride one.
The 888, stunning, 916, stunning, 999, errrrrrrrrrrrr, 1098, stunning.
Its why I took so long to decide on a sports bike, nothing really tickled my fancy, bar the SP1/SP2 Honda, the TL1000, the Ducati 888, or modern wise, the Aprilia RSV Factory....
Otherwise, nothing tickles me, nothing affordable anyway (queue Bimota SB7 and SB8, or Bimota Tesi 3D, SPANK!!!!!!!). I just think most jap bikes, although increadibly fast to ride, just look the same and don't have any passion of "feel" about them. (google those Bimotas!!!)
Every time i take nelli out, it really is an adventure... Will I get there, will i get back, how much fuel is it gonna use this time...
