Stop thinking European and American, Lester & Piki. It is a world wide market. As i said before i had a CD250U in silver. Contacted Honda in Power Rd, who stated that Honda never produced one in silver. A letter to Honda, Japan confirmed that a Silver model was produced for Singapore.
Steve has the right thinking on this.

I'm not thinking about any particular market, I'm just going by the amount of internet searching I've done over the past ten years or so. Plus forum reading etc. I searched a lot when I couldn't find the correct colour for my panels, took me about two years. I never heard mention of a black F.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

I had a black 550K3



It was my commuter bike when I had to give up my company car in a new job. but as soon as I changed jobs again together with a company car, I sold the K3 to a born again biker...who now owns a new Yamaha R1
