Yes it was metalflake red when I bought it - a special paint job by Albany Motorcycles in Coventry.
I eventually bought a big tank for it and spare side panels and painted them Honda red with yellow Honda logos on the side of the tank.
With mag alloy wheels (first of the few in the day), quarter fairing (red) Girling shocks, TT100 tyres, finned engine casings and four into two matt black exhaust system with Dunstall Decibel megaphone silencers, it looked and sounded awesome - a bit like an MV firing up in the midst of the 70s sea of two strokes in the car park on race days.
I still wish I had never sold it.
