Hello guys.. Firstly i have done a search but I can only find threads asking for specific paint codes... My question is.. are the very first bike of 748 916 the same colour red as say the 996 and 998??? Many thanks
No, there have been at least three reds. 1990s Rosso Red 2000s onwards Anniversary Red Plus the more orangey racing red used on recent super sports etc.
My 2002 ST4 (not a 748 - 998 but same era) is Anniversary red, I had heard that different primers were used in different years making the colours harder to match - may be bollocks though
Theres a complete set of yellow fairings under the GSE Racing Hodgson Replicas, DUK had c50 yellow ones they couldn't sell, my old neighbour worked at Dream Machine who painted them all ....
