Hello,I'm new to the site and would like to know about the colour of the bike I've bought,I want to know if the bike should be black with red and white decals,it states black on the v5 that it's black its a 1a2 August 78 Rd 250e,i want to make sure that is the colour it was back in 78 before I start the restoration,thanks in advance.

Hi best way to find out is to apply for the vehicle history from the dvla. They will supply a copy of the original v5 when it was first registered. I could by wrong but I am pretty sure that black wasn't offered in the UK on E models but was for euro imports.
