Boxerdictionary definition:

DDP: Common term used to describe the red paint applied to BMW model R1100S. (DDP: Dog Dick Pink)

Surprised you haven't come across this before, commonly used here

PS - did check in Boxerpix first that you had one :wink:

Not a huge fan of the 'yellow' variety, but your bike looks fantastic.

i think that describes the red color really well.
it a very wired red...looks sometimes almost orange.

anyway, for now the S stays with DDP, but who knows some day i may respay it..

not sure what...british racing green would look good or the old R90S orange and silver...

Neil,

That looks excellent matey. well done :thumbleft:

Lars, the R90S colour scheme has already been done. I bought this beauty off another Trixter, Nigel, then sadly wrote it off in the great M6 barrel roll of '06 :cry:
