If you want a classic appearance, BRG & yellow will give you that. I don't think it's a ripoff, not any more than the Roadster design itself is a ripoff. Call it a homage.
Myself, I'm really drawn to the classic German silver with blood red nose stripe and wings. But then some obnoxiously bright colour would be better for visibility and a more modern look. I don't think anyone would call something "classic" if it's painted in Kawasaki green for instance
