    Saw this on ebay this morning. What do you think ? bit OTT for me. Think the second one a little more subtle ? anyone thinking of changing colour ?

    Out of the 2, I prefer the 2nd, but better still is the standard Silver Ice :)

    Dealers seem to be changing the colours already, ours has a british racing green one, must remember to get some pictures, its tasty.

    I have to say, I do struggle with the look of a fairing on one round light

    Here are the two R,s in our dealership, the green one is £ 14500.00 and looks the business.

    Hi Pottsy,

    ...it'd be easy enough for a dealer to be swapping coloured parts from Thruxton's to R's and visa versa to get better colours......or do you know for sure they have been re-sprayed?

    Cheers,

    Do not like those quilted seats, too much like a granny seat. If I was customising the paint job I'd have something that at least goes with those garish orange Ohlins.
