Nice, but why the colour change

Have you had it painted or is it just a plastics & tank swap

Me no likey yellow, but i paid £2800 for it so i couldn't walk away

All plastic swap, tank, nose and tail are off ebay,
lowers were silver and blue, which I (read me and my dad) painted and some decent looking stickers i picked up off ebay too

looks better in yellow mate, loads of blue/white ones around. wouldnt it have been easier to sell the yellow one on and buy a blue one? have you informed DVLA of a colour change?

The blue and white sells, but I thought the yello/black looked pretty good.

Have you changed the colour on your V5?
If so does the original colour show up anywhere like on an HPI check?

not changed the v5 yet, but will be doing soon

as far as the v5 is concerned the bike isn't even mine yet

But don't worry, i'm not riding it like that, it's off the road until i sell my sv

thought about selling the yellow and buying blue, but can't find any for the price i paid

i get bored and eBay is my friend (read devil on my shoulder )

Never thought about it before but where do you stand legally if the colour doesn't match the V5?

Might mean something to those on the site who throw on scrappy bodywork for trackdays, etc.
