Color ideas, 749s - Ducati.ms

I'm involved in building a 749s for racing this season, and we are down to the paint choices now. We have a set of red plastics, with the white side stripe on it. We have to go yellow plates for racing purposes, so I've been toying with the idea of doing the whole belly black. What do you think of this quick photoshop rendering?

looks very nice, flows well when lined up with the seat.

+1, integrating the seats is a nice touch. Reminds me of Rossi's bikes with the yellow.

I say do it, looks great. The yellow plates do give it a "Rossi-esque" look to it. If you like that kind of thing.

Love the striped look, but not that big a yellow fan. Personally, I'd move it closer to the 1198r Corsa look, with the color of the front stripes followed all the way back in line along the tailpiece. Because you jogged the color combination between the main fairing and the tailpiece, it kind of seems a bit disconnected to my eye.
