I've got to disagree, if you were going to use Mike's number, you'd need to use the Sports Motorcycles Red White and Green paint job..........
Not the Italian flag, but the colours of his main sponsor Castrol.
Anything else wouldn't look right IMO.
I rather like the original NCR colours of Red and Silver myself, I saw these bikes raced in Europe in the late 70's and early 80's in the world endurance championships.
They outdragged the Sonauto TZ700/750 Yamaha's on the Mistral stright at Paul Ricard for the 'Bol D'or', the sound of the thundering V twin against the screaming 2 stroke had to be heard to be believed!
I stood in he pits marvelling at the dry clutch on the NCR's, thinking I really want one of those..........
20 something years later, I finally bought one at the WDW 2000, a friend commented that he'd never seen a man get so excited over a piece of metal.
The man has no soul!!!!!
