XBR 500 in Rhine Blue Metallic Code PB-150M-U
« on: September 27, 2009, 08:16:14 PM »

Just bought an XBR 500 in a rare rhine blue metallic colour- they only made them in 1985 apparantly on the B Reg. Has anyone got any pictures of an XBR in this colour? Apparantly the Goldwing's were sprayed in this colour too. I have been around the t'interweb but not found any images-

it is sprayed a bad blue at present not the original

Cheers

One of the first UK press bikes was that colour, the one tested by Classic Bike magazine up against a Gold Star.

Thanks for that- any more pictures appreciated- i've got the paint to spray but haven't opened it yet until the bike is ready to go to paint.

First ones were 1985 on a C reg I thought, if you have a B then it must be one of the first batch of 49 that Honda imported.
