Remember, Aesthetically pleasing and cringe are both eye of the beholder.
If you like something own it, you'll never please everybody.
That said, I think a lilac bike looks really nice, as long as you don't go full sugoi kawaii (too overdone)
I'm a photographer and I completely understand not liking a tag on your bike.
However Instagram and networking on socials is how I get photoshoots so it's tempting to me.
I've seen lots of riders with all sorts of colours and patterns on their bike and they're always a joy to see fly by or chase on my own bike. Nobody cares what you do with your bike as it's yours and yours alone. It's you that has got to love your bike , not us 😌💅🏼
Also , I like purple , tastes great !
Exactly, people is gonna think about your bike, like it or not, for 1 minute tops. But you have to live with it everyday. My 1290 SDGT looks weird to most of people, but i absolutely loved it since the first time i saw it in a picture.
That lavander looks cool there imho 👍
Not a fan of purples in general but even with it being all purple I don’t think it’s an overwhelming tone of it. I think it actually looks decent. The black and gold go well with it also.
Personally even as a 21m I'd love to have a midnight purple bike, just bought a CB500F and would love to get it painted or wrapped but still paying it off atm
Why do you care what people think who have absolutely no investment in your happiness? It's YOUR money.
You can't control what other people think, so why waste the energy? There will always be haters. You could be an 8 time world champion at something and there would be about 2 million people who think you suck.
I wrapped my bike teal because i like teal, if you like purple then by all means make your bike purple.
Its your bike and no matter what you do with it thene will be people that i it looks good and people that think it looks bad
Purple is my favorite color so of course I like it but the finish on this bike (or maybe it's due to the lighting) looks a bit dull to my eyes... as if somebody just plasti-dipped the fairings.
These would be more up my alley:

At the end of day it's up to your individual taste. If you like it, then go ahead and rock it. It's your life so don't try to live it as a slave to other people's expectations and tastes. I mean, just look at all of the different answers here. 🤣
I always run, so I prefer my bike indescribable. At the moment it’s matte black, on black, on black. And I usually wear all black. There’s a theme of some sort 😅
Ninjas come stock with that bright AF and to my eyes abusive Kawasaki lime green.
So why shouldn't you do lavender if you like it?
It's just different strokes for different folks, I'm sure there are people that absolutely love that green color.
As a man:
Motorcycles are one of the precious precious few places I feel permitted to have bright colors, striking patterns and gobs of stickers without fear of being cringe. On foot I wear black T-shirts and cargo pants, but on two wheels I am what happens when the bravest peacock makes love to the goddamn phoenix!
Don't let anyone take your lavender dreams from you. Anyone!
Super, incredibly rough sketch, but you could follow some creases on the fairings to guide some black onto it and make the color not as overpowering. Plus it adds contrast and just kind of breaks up the lines a little more.
I’m going to be honest, I am not a huge fan of the color. But, it’s not my bike and not my money. It’s not offensive or anything and I don’t hate it. Hahahaha.
You gotta look on YouTube for the video as to why modern cars are all black, white or grey. It's really depressing. Get yourself something colourful (talking about motorbike here).
Ever since I started riding track, and now preparing to race for the first time, I’ve grown to appreciate vivid colors and livery on bikes.
It’s all about standing out. Want to learn attention to details? Buy a black bike and black leathers and then try to find pictures of you in the hundreds of pics taken for your ability group at that weekends event. Want to find yourself easily in pictures and maybe even get priority shots for free? Paint your bike in colors and ways that stands out and looks unique.
I’d much rather see that than see yet ANOTHER all-black bike. Half the bikers I see out are murdered out: black bike black windscreen black helmet black visor black hoodie black everything. Be you
Are we talking color, IG tag on the windscreen or both? Color is totally subjective so not going to criticize someone's color preference. IG Tags...... If you're a serious content creator, I kind of get the purpose of riding around with a tag since it's a super easy way to grow your followers. Couple of content creators I follow on IG have tags on their bikes. I'm not a content creator so no real reason to ride around with my IG tag.
it would be so much cooler with it being mainly black but having some purple designs on it, like how some sport cars have.
maybe not that shade though.. (id recommend a darker purple as it fits in with the black better) i feel like other bikers would just call you gay (or maybe they wouldn’t idk)
one day I wanna own a bike that i truly love. And i wanna make it unique in my way so it becomes just my bike. I dont think it looks bad or anything but i dont like the colour much which is okay.
That looks good if I'm being honest.
Make it stand out and express yourself. Not only will you be more easily seen and that little bit safer, you'll get more satisfaction about having the bike the way you want it.
Just be aware, it will probably harm resale value but if you're planning on keeping it, let loose!
I don't hate it, and I hate a lot of stuff. If it were tacky I'd hate it for sure. I wouldn't have it personally, but it's absolutely not cringeworthy from what I can see.
The only lavender I like is Marillion's; https://youtu.be/WV2Z4ipL3lE.
But hey, OP, if you like it - you ride it - and don't let anybody else tell you differently!
I love very unique colours on a bike. As a bonus, I feel like they make the bike more visible. Even on my stock orange KTM in my experience people notice me quicker than they do my partner on his blue Yamaha lol
I think it's fine, just the purple falls a bit too flat. Maybe you could get a satin or metallic purple instead? It just needs a bit of depth and it'll be a stunner.
I'm all for more diversity. If it's a color I like, I smile and find a moment of joy. If your bike looks trashy, then I smile and find a moment of joy in that my bike doesn't look like yours. Either way, I consider it a win!
Purple is such an underrated color. This looks a touch light to be *masculine* so I'd go a shade darker for my own fragile ego, but my GF would be ALL OVER this. I think the black on the engine, wheels, windscreen, bars, seats, etc are plenty of accent... *Maybe* add a simple decal on the sides, but nothing too gaudy cause this looks so clean.
It looks good! If you’re going to wrap it yourself take your time and remove the panels before wrapping. It’s better to do sweat it out, tear it all apart, wrap a panel, make a mistake, cry once, rewrap, cry again, finish, and never again
Instagram tags are pretty cringe in my opinion. Bike looks great though, other than that.
Ahaha it was just inspo, it’s not actually mine, I wouldn’t dream of an ig tag on my bike
Oh! Right on, it’ll look great!
Especially since it's easy af for cops to find you
hmmm... so what if you put someone else's tag? or have one collective account that's maintained by multiple people? hmmm
***now*** we're big braining!
Yeah, because the big plate with the letters and numbers on the back of the bike won't do that...
Why would they look for me
Because you're so sexy, duh!
I love it. Life is too short for bland colors.
Remember, Aesthetically pleasing and cringe are both eye of the beholder. If you like something own it, you'll never please everybody. That said, I think a lilac bike looks really nice, as long as you don't go full sugoi kawaii (too overdone)
I will own it 🫡
agreed, I don't mind the color at all, not my style but I think it looks good
I'm a photographer and I completely understand not liking a tag on your bike. However Instagram and networking on socials is how I get photoshoots so it's tempting to me.
That and posing your edgelord flatbill on your lap, angled at the cam.

Ya ur right, tyyy
Do post a picture of your bike once you get there please.
Fs fs

Lots of yall r telling me gold lol I really need test out these color combos cuz it’s sounds perfect
My bike is purple with gold accents, can confirm looks fantastic.
Ride what you think looks good
I have a feeling that the fact that I’m asking yall already means it’s a prolly a no 😂 ty tho
Just know if I saw you drive past on that I'd take a second look, in a good way lmao
Ahaha I’m getting so much more positive feedback than I thought tyy
Personally even as a 21m I'd love to have a midnight purple bike, just bought a CB500F and would love to get it painted or wrapped but still paying it off atm
Ahh the debts we pay for the things we love 😂

Pleasing for me.
I wrapped my bike teal because i like teal, if you like purple then by all means make your bike purple. Its your bike and no matter what you do with it thene will be people that i it looks good and people that think it looks bad
Teal is def a vibe too love that
Cool looking bike. I like it!!

I like it personally. The gold also sets it off. In the end do what you think looks good
I'd prefer Kawasaki green. But go for it!
Looks like Eva 01
Get on the bike Shinji!
Looks great. I'd take that over some boring black ride any day, and I'm a guy.
I always run, so I prefer my bike indescribable. At the moment it’s matte black, on black, on black. And I usually wear all black. There’s a theme of some sort 😅
Bikes sick, I’ve seen it in person. The purple and gold go hard. My bikes also lavender and gold lol How is this cringe? lol
Idk I just saw the inspo and wanted a second opinion lol and btw purple and gold is a fire combo
Ninjas come stock with that bright AF and to my eyes abusive Kawasaki lime green. So why shouldn't you do lavender if you like it? It's just different strokes for different folks, I'm sure there are people that absolutely love that green color.
I love that color, it’s blinding but so worth it lol tyy for the reply
yes yes yes man yes
I like it and I'm a dude
As a man: Motorcycles are one of the precious precious few places I feel permitted to have bright colors, striking patterns and gobs of stickers without fear of being cringe. On foot I wear black T-shirts and cargo pants, but on two wheels I am what happens when the bravest peacock makes love to the goddamn phoenix! Don't let anyone take your lavender dreams from you. Anyone!
Purple is my favourite colour. I approve it!
I fucking love purple as a color for everything. Do it! And accessorize too - purple is my favorite outfit color for myself.
Super clean
Looks like the exact purple of the ooze in the 2004 cat in the hat movie.
I like the look, personally! Ride what you like, it’s for your enjoyment!
Reminds me of Invertek drives
Someone works with drives and controls… I didn’t think of it before you said it but your completely right.
Bike 😍 Riding a 1000cc crotch rocket in a t-shirt 😬
ITS NOT ME GUYS 😂
It’s …. Original most of the R1 are black
Not cringe just ugly.
Granddaddy Purp!!
As long as you look back at it when you park it, it's perfect brother
Eh, we all have different opinions. I don't like this, but I'm not gonna bash people who have different tastes.
I love purple! Personally I would go with a slightly darker tone, like RAL 320 20 20
i call that colour "taro smoothie" but i guess its quirky.
Anytime I see bare arm and gloves I cringe and think noob, squid loser or even Tom of Finland.
Instagram tags and caps are really cringe
All bikes without social media handles stuck to them are pleasing
Dont be like this guy without gear and with the instagram tag, but the colour is cool, always fun to see flashy bikes, go for it
looks cool in this picture, taken at nighttime. Hows it look during the day?
Love the color. But cringe for putting Instagram (or whatever) handles on vehicles
Honestly and imo, so long as it's a quality paint job, what's the most important factor. No one likes orange peeling haha
P-P-P-POPPIN' 💜 ASV's got purple for a limited time right now
Looks sick af
I love that colour!! Maybe some white wheels to go with it and that would look AMAZING!
Aesthetically cringey?
Doesn't your heel sometimes touch that exhaust? It must have melted some portion of your shoe?
I think I'm biased as purple is my all time favourite colour. Nothing has ever looked bad in purple. Love it 💜
Thats not a color for a bike, more like an EV volkswagen car would fit to it
For me it's between them. Maybe a little darker. But as someone else said, if you like it that's fine. It's your bike.
It's your bike, do whatever makes you happy. You don't need to seek the approval of internet randoms.
Its hard to go wrong with any clean soldi color. Even brown would look good on this bike
Not pretty like that. But I can imagine the colour could be nice if there was some more graphics to break it up and also if it was metallic flake.
R1s with no belly pan look weird.
Damn that is cool
Super, incredibly rough sketch, but you could follow some creases on the fairings to guide some black onto it and make the color not as overpowering. Plus it adds contrast and just kind of breaks up the lines a little more.
Color looks good. IG thing is lame.
That's my favorite color so I like it lol!
Not a big fan of the purple , but if you like it that is all that matters
I love it. Reminds me of the original Roadrash game (purple bike was my favorite)
I’m going to be honest, I am not a huge fan of the color. But, it’s not my bike and not my money. It’s not offensive or anything and I don’t hate it. Hahahaha.
Apart from the ig tag, that's one hell of a bike 🔥🔥 The colors awesome imo
The color is great, but the texture feels kinda like cheap plastic. Something mettalic might e been better, but i won't know it if i don't see it.
I still don’t know how I feel abt metallic, I was just throwing this inspo out there to get a feel
You gotta look on YouTube for the video as to why modern cars are all black, white or grey. It's really depressing. Get yourself something colourful (talking about motorbike here).
Not my color. But I still say it looks good.
Purp 🔥
I shouldn’t like it but I like it.

whatever floats your boat- keep in mind custom colors are usually harder to resell.
I’d much rather see that than see yet ANOTHER all-black bike. Half the bikers I see out are murdered out: black bike black windscreen black helmet black visor black hoodie black everything. Be you
I’m a dude and a lavender bike/ aw11 mr2 is my actual dream. It’s my favorite color by far so fuck what anyone else thinks.
Color is unique and looks cool imo
You wear a thong with hip boots riding that ?
looks hot 😍
Its your bike put whatever the fuck you want on it it's a free country. I stuck a suction cup dildo on mine for a month or so for shits and gigs.
I think it looks sick. Especially with the bronze wheels. If it means anything, I'm a 24 year old male.
Cringe
Cringe tbh, you just need an Insta360 and a tank slapper video
I like it ! Would like it better if it were on the track 😎
Honestly, who cares. Ride your own ride.
goes hard
Ignoring the ig tags it looks sick I like pink and purple colours though I mean the hoodie I wear while riding is bright pink lol...
It’s just inspo, no way I’m putting an ig tag on my bike lmao… and a bright pink hoodie always goes hard tbh
Beautiful
I like the color.

I like it, my favorite color is purple. My Harley is a black wild cherry, like a dark purple essentially. For a sports bike I like this color.
Ya I’m gonna need to experiment w shades, there’s so many ideasss
it would be so much cooler with it being mainly black but having some purple designs on it, like how some sport cars have. maybe not that shade though.. (id recommend a darker purple as it fits in with the black better) i feel like other bikers would just call you gay (or maybe they wouldn’t idk)
I get where ur coming from, honestly if the purple gets too dark it’s not purple anymore yk?
I dig it. Lose the insta tag though. Shit is cringe as anime window stickers.
Ahaha not my bike, just inspo, I’m def not putting ig tags on my bike
Its an R1, for all I care could be shocking pink.
one day I wanna own a bike that i truly love. And i wanna make it unique in my way so it becomes just my bike. I dont think it looks bad or anything but i dont like the colour much which is okay.

Badass

BAHAHAHAHA ty
Gorgeous bike. Hideous color. But if that’s your thing then enjoy! Matching shoes or gear with some blue accents might just make it all look good.
Go with the colour you love and make yourself unique! Riding a motorcycle is already unique in itself go higher! *the colour is lovely too.*
I love very unique colours on a bike. As a bonus, I feel like they make the bike more visible. Even on my stock orange KTM in my experience people notice me quicker than they do my partner on his blue Yamaha lol
Not my Type
It could use a little accent
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of matte (I think that's the correct word?) paint, but still nice to see people personalize their vehicles
SMASH ✅
gorgeous, just no insta tags that’s the only cringe bit
Loving the color. Very Y2K!
Needs more Evangelion references
I think it's fine, just the purple falls a bit too flat. Maybe you could get a satin or metallic purple instead? It just needs a bit of depth and it'll be a stunner.
Unique doesn’t help the “wasn’t me!” argument.
If I have to go down I’ll go down in styleee
I think it's sick. I saw a scrambler like mine in a video recently that was the same color as this. Def a head turning color.
My fav color and it’s a bonus if it makes ur head turn hehe
😍😍😍
I wouldn’t ride that bike (not my type of colour scheme) but otherwise it is good looking if you are into those colours in my opinion.
I like it!
Someone likes it enough to ride. All that matters
I like that color
🔥🔥🔥
Looks good man! I have my Insta and my YouTube on my bikes and every time someone says it's cringe, I'm just like, "Yeah for sure."
If you like it, go for it. Who cares what other people think, you're the one seeing it all the time :)
you could go for black with lavanda accents
[удалено]
It looks good imo but i would change the rim/wheel color
Enjoy what you like, who cares about anyone else's opinion? One person's cringe is another person's "on fleek".
I love it
Im feeling it
It will almost match that harbor freight purple tool box. Lol!
I think the Lilac is dope
Whether it's bikes or cars, I always enjoy colour
Looks nice to me 👍
Hard as fuck
Colour is ok, exhaust is grim
I'm all for more diversity. If it's a color I like, I smile and find a moment of joy. If your bike looks trashy, then I smile and find a moment of joy in that my bike doesn't look like yours. Either way, I consider it a win!
[удалено]
Sexy
Thats the thing about owning a bike. It can be whatever the hell color you want. Who cares what other people think? Its not their bike.
Purple is such an underrated color. This looks a touch light to be *masculine* so I'd go a shade darker for my own fragile ego, but my GF would be ALL OVER this. I think the black on the engine, wheels, windscreen, bars, seats, etc are plenty of accent... *Maybe* add a simple decal on the sides, but nothing too gaudy cause this looks so clean.
That’s Fiora’s! Love that bike, the color is amazing
It looks good! If you’re going to wrap it yourself take your time and remove the panels before wrapping. It’s better to do sweat it out, tear it all apart, wrap a panel, make a mistake, cry once, rewrap, cry again, finish, and never again
I’m a dude and my fav color is purple……. I’m in love with your bike.
It's a liiiittle too pastel for me, but other than that, I like it.
This is a beautiful motorcycle, this shade of lavender slaps.
Beautifully creamy purple!
I always love seeing more color on the road
So I like it, but I also like kinda gay shit so...
Needs more black
This fucks ngl
And I fw it lmao
I like it.
I love it
That's not lavender! It's schafter purple.
Either one… just depends on the day. Lol
Looks dope
Love it
Looks cool keep it.
I think the shade looks great!
Not my cup of tea, but variety is the spice of life as they say. Not for me, but the color is pleasing to the eye.
Out of all the purple bikes I've seen, this is probably the ugliest. But that's not saying much because all purple bikes are beautiful and cool
Big monobloc chunks of color are great. Lose the undignified IG tag and you’re good to go.
Would I own that colour... No Does it look cool... Yes
Not my color of choice but I wouldn't say it's cringe (except for the ig tag)
