Biker Daily Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hi, new here, hope someone can help? Just bought an old 1980 xt250, the log book says RED, the colour is actually white. It has the correct looking Xt decal on the tank and nothing on the side panels. Can anybody tell me what colours were actually available in the UK circa 1980? Also interested in colour schemes across the world, but just want to put my bike back the way it was. Was it actually Red? I owned a new xt250 in 1980, it was white with the black triangle on the tank going over the petrol cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker Daily Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Since I posted this question I've had a reply from Yamaha and another paint source. Apparently the white is CLEAN WHITE. And the black is affectionately known as YAMAHA BLACK. Thought is might be of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
