I was originally going to have the stroker project done in yammy blue and mess with decals etc but I think after all the hard work it deserves a proper scheme. The only problem is I don't really know what I want.

I've always wanted to go with Yamaha blue like my old R1, but I do love yellow and speedblocks too. The intention wasn't to make it into a TZ replica but I do want it Yamaha based. Found these so far, curious if anyone has any good ideas...

Thread here if anyone's not aware of the build

Can't see what's posted above, but this has to be one of the most beautiful bikes of the stroker era!

It is a Cagiva as well as a Yamaha, after all!

Simple, classy colour scheme smile

As nice as that is I think it might look odd on TZ bodywork?

Not that 99% people will know what the fairings are

Definitely the Yamaha racing America colours (Yellow/Black/White) as per you first picture in those colours, or like the Rossi bike above..

Also this. If you paint it in any other scheme, I'll come round, steal it and repaint it anyway. So just save yourself the hassle.
