« on: June 17, 2009, 05:58:34 AM »
Hi all,new to this site and just introducing myself,if ive done this correctly,there should be an image of my recently purchased R65,it was a little tatty but mechanically ok,ive treated it to a coat of bright yellow paint and some non-standard tank badges,I got the huuuuge panniers with it and a few spares,I paid 900 english pound notes for it,fully road legal,years mot and six months tax,first time ive had an R65,had a couple of R80's and R100's,I think this one is actually the best handling one ive had.Ride safe one and all,regards,Colin.uk.

Yellow is good.

I have no problem with bright colours, and one of our Aussie chaps has a yellow R65.
