Now that is an iconic colour scheme, why suzuki dont bring it out is beyond me. Yamaha did it with the KR block scheme, Honda did the rothmans on the 400, Kwaka been doing snot green since the dawn of time
It was a ltd edition run of the K5 750, done between the UK importers & MCN
Of course cynics would say that it was only done to offload the last of the K5’s they had laying around getting dusty as the K6 had been announced…
As for why the factory doesn’t do it again , why would they upset their current sponsors by releasing a bike in the corporate colours of a company that hasn’t had any association with them for years ?
The Yam speed block design is different as it’s a Yamaha specific graphic not linked to any other sponsor.
Anyway, this Sheen/Heron scheme always looked much better than the predominately white one.
Err, isn’t that bike what this gixxer is a replica of rather than the original Bazza one ?
If ya look closely it’s got the number 71 on it not 7… :hehe:
How anyone could pick a pastel blue & white bike over the Red/Black/yellow classic is beyond me & obviously shows how susceptible some folk are to all that rogue oestrogen thats floating around these days…
