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.

A mate had one new in 1980, it was white/ black,,

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.
