Is this the correct colour scheme for a GS PD?

[Tetley]

Just seen a 1996 R100 GS PD on Gary's website (BAMW) in red and white. He has it listed as a limited edition of 200 for a riders club in Germany. I have seen this one (below) advertised and like the look of it. It's a 1991 (frame and engine nos stack up). I have looked at other 90 - 91 bikes and they seem to have the square block script on the tank, so is this a correct colour and graphic combination for a 91 bike?

Thanks

The pebble dash bikes were 1993 (sept 92 to July 93)...I think!

Gary's spot on. The livery you've shown is from 1996.

Rob - The pebble dash bikes were 1993 (sept 92 to July 93)...I think!

So is this defo the wrong colour / graphic for the 91 bike?

 

[Rob Farmer]

Reading back through the thread I think I've thrown a curve ball in there. Nobody has actually mentioned the pebble dash scheme.

I'm getting concerned about the number of squeky clean airheads appearing and people wondering about what's original or not...we have low standards on ukgser that need to be maintained

You mean I done all this powder coating and polishing for nothing ?!?

 

[Rob Farmer]

Its not right you know

 

[Tetley]

Found this one listed as an 1991. It is an 800 not a 1000. So this colour / graphic scheme must have been available at the time.

Oh trust me Rob, it'll never be done again.......I'm still sore !!

Are you on the looking to buy that PD Tetley ?
(I recognise the name from Crash.net ?)

Nice to see a Ribena coloured bike though. There aren't many about. Bump muncher went the whole hog and tracked down an original BMW over suit in that colour to match his bike

No need to be worried - it's a motorsports site for bike racing that covers, WSBK, MotoGP, BSB etc.
Nice bike a good look with it if you buy. Looks really nice !

Call what Avus Blue?

The Purple tank with Tyre treads is "Carica Blue"

Kenny's got a shell suit that matches that bike.

Looking back at the photographs bumpmunchers suit is nothing like that colour..strange how your memory plays trick? Never let the truth get in the way of a good story?
