Had a 210 motor built by Diablo last year, and I thought I'd do something with the scoot too. All the paintwork has been done by The Scooter Paint Shop in Sileby. The colour is an 80's Saab colour called Ascot Grey, which is a solid grey although it looks blue in some of the photos :?

How it stands as of today. I'm waiting for some PM levers and an SIP seat to come back from the paintshop.

Love it, love the subtle colour scheme. Sometimes less is more.
Hope you`re putting a pad on that seat, ouch.
What`s in it? Malossi or Polini and how does it go?

Health to enjoy.

Cheers mate. I will put a pad on the seat when I can afford it! It's a Polini that Al built me last year. It goes pretty well!
