Some people like to imagine what new models would look like with one-color paintwork or less loving designs with a retro finish. Kar Lee implements this in his renderings. And yes, that leads us to appeal to manufacturers: More courage. Retro bikes work. Why shouldn’t retro paintwork be just as successful – and not only on limited special models.
