Hi all,
I’m taking the plunge and buying another blackbird.
Owned a few and keep coming back.
Particular one I’m interested in is a blue 2005, looks nice 2 owners this owner had it 6 years (private buy) full givi luggage, 28k miles full history.
Ticks all my boxes but the top fairing and Centre of tank are a different shade of blue.
Owner says it’s original but I’ve never seen it before.
Is it a genuine factory colour?

Normal. They did a two tone blue

Seen a few of the two tone blue BB's here in the UK.

Just don't crash it. The two tone plastics are unobtainable ime.

Yep, two tone is original......I've got one!

But, the darker blue is a sticker on the fairing panels. The tank is all paint though.

Hell of a sticker on the cowl. Wouldn't fancy trying to fit that myself.
