My NTV650 has to be one of the worst colours in existence.

There are a few more out there but this was the iconic 'big modern Kwak' family look that appealed tp me as a teen.

I would give brown a wide berth as well.
Those CB400/fours of the 1970's looked quite nice in Parakeet yellow.

Faves - F650 GS Dakar - the one with the red & blue checker board pattern.

KTM 950 Adv - 04, 05 - all gloss black, with the KTM logo picked out in orange pinstripe - simple, classy.

Africa Twin in Red, White & Blue - lovely.

Any Yamaha in Yellow with black speedblock.

Classic red & silver MV.

My wife's fave - Triumph nuclear red (pink!), Suzuki kettle in purple,

BM K1 in postbox red - yuk.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure T - Power!
KTM 690 Enduro R - lighter to pick up
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - Fun.

Even our dogs are orange.

Only bikers understand why dogs put their heads out of car windows.

This colour scheme was deemed a bit different in its day

The best and worst colour schemes could be the same scheme but on different bikes.
Honda red/white/blue looks great on Africas but on a Deauville or Wing!! similarly the candy red on Pans & Wings? would not suit the Africa.
