75/5

Mikey

I like the colour choice, but as Charlie batty says; The bigger tank looks better (well, to me it does..)
 
That bright emerald green would be nicer than the baby shit brown! :barf :D

Or the sky blue with white pinstripes... but not black, please not black!
 
Waiting for your magic to work again Had a 75/6 many moons ago in the bright green with white pinstriping looked the mutts nuts .
 
There’s only one colour!!!!!!

I had an R75/5 and sold it to Peepingtom of the Parish minus the chair & leading link forks

Just goes to show ,
Everyone has different tastes,
I like the green version,though folk in the trade will say how hard it is to sell a green bike:confused:
This one was going to be the smoke green into black,
But the buyer wanted it white,
The customer is always right :augie

As I said,I have both tanks,
I’ll get both painted the same once I’ve made a decision on the colour.
I MUCH prefer the small tank.
I’ll paint it with polka dots if someone wants to put a deposit down:D

Metallic Gold (also called "curry" in the U.S.).

Definitely Marmite. :D

I rather like the brown (OK - metallic Gold).

But then I bought a Ford in "Burnished Glow" (neighbours call it "The Brown Henry") :blast.

A big dirty pile:barf

This’ll be interesting.

Almost 40 years ago an R75/5 was my first Big Bike and obviously my first Beemer.

A new neighbour moved in above me and had a Norton. He still has it. And the opportunity to acquire a bike arrived. After no bikes since student days.

I kept it for about 6 years and turned it from blue to black along the way.

Then no big bikes for a long, long time.
