At least they had a splash of Gold on them... Matchless G50 had a Red tank and Gold engine covers. No coincidence that My Monster has a Red tank and Gold engine covers.
I painted my 650 Ajay, Papyrus White over Royal Blue, one of the 1961 colour options. It always looked the cleanest in a crowd of Black Ajays and Matchboxes.
My G11CSR was Red and my 14CSR 250 lightweight was Polychromatic Blue. The Commando is going to be Yellow.
The only brand new bike I ever bought came in Black, but it was a civilianised Russian Neval, painted Black over Siberian camouflage White... Some of the paint was still wet when it was delivered!!
