I think I'll leave this one to you Charles!! ;-)

My Repsol was painted way way back, with the base colours completed just 2 days after Honda's official launch of the new 500! We only had the "world exclusive" pictures in Motor Cycle News to go by though, so that explains why the colours (and if you look closely, the cut-outs into the red section) are incorrect!

It was with some trepidation that I called the paint shop the day before I was due to collect it, "Er... what does it really look like with orange wheels?!" I asked! Luckily the importer put my mind at rest, and told me as soon as he'd got the bike back in the shop they'd sent off an MC28 because the colour scheme looked so striking!

Phew!

PS. I'd say the MC28SP Repsol is a blue-ish green, but seeing Doohan's 500 at the bike show 3 years ago, his bike was definitely green!
