my sweet thang....

RandyB—yes, absolutely. It's a fantastic colour, although it always looks black rather than blue in photos. That said, if I really had to make a choice, I'd go for the spencer blue.

Krupator, I'm with you. It's more important to ride than to clean.

ahhhh..... a glorious blue !!!

Blue was definitely a fast colour, if not the fastest.

But chasing an Aprilia, hmmm, somewhat believable to a point.

That is a big guy.

Great shots by the OP!
My Spencer blue model came with silver side covers, but never looked right to me so I bit the bullet and had Mr. T send me a color-matched set.
The bike is much more pleasing to my eye now.

Agree with all the favor-the-blue comments. What a clean looking bike...under the rear fender is spotless. Nice photograhy.

[Nachodaddy]

Indeed a beautiful, well-cared for bike. I don't know much about the differences in the various years and models, but that looks like a factory tank and an earlier US model.

Curious where those shots were taken.
