Hondas of that era didn't have colour code as such (just a code that a Japanese subcontractor could use in the production process) so I'm afraid that the code itself is meaningless.

I don't know much about 650s - but there are plenty on here who do. (and they'll be along soon)

Hi John, don't know of a colour code, but I like the blue they used on the 650's. Nice colour- not that that helps you in any way...

Just a little bit confused, are these not paint codes. Just need clarify as in the future will be needing this colour, if not dose anyone have a close match code, Cant take a match off the bike as its purple at the moment.
