that was a happy hour and half going through this thread. I was looking for paint scheme inspiration on the PV build. still struggling tbh. I have to make on the spot decisions all day long but something like this for myself is paining me. I guess I had better let that tick over in the back of my tiny mind until something floats to the top.

Paint is the hardest decision to make it can make or break a bike. Took me ages to do. Have a look through the build section and finished bikes if anything catches your fancy ping a pm to the owner (it’s just courteous) and go for it 👍 Good luck.

That looks really smart. My (yet to do) LC paint job just came to me without much thought but the PV is proving troublesome. It will come to me . I hope.

Paint does not determine how a bike handles, feels, stops and how well it rides... Get both right and you are golden...

would like a better photo usually TZ700 where twin shock, unless modified by Harris ect.. It looks like a TZ750 E but would really need a better photo OW31 are works bikes and totally different.
However the calipers are mounted in front of the forks like the 700 so need better photo

Hi Veg Just got this reply from a mate who worked with Yamaha Classic Racing Team."Hi mate there is no such model as a TZ700 the batch first batch of TZ750A's where 700cc the bike looks like a tz750d but some things are not correct on it would need better photos . The first 3 models A/B/C where twin shock".
Every day is school day as I didnt know that.
Best rergards Johnny C.

I’m sure I have seen number 6 before I could be wrong but got a feeling it may be a french bike sponsored by gauloises or similar. I’m pretty sure it’s a 7/750 not a 500. It’s interesting that’s for sure.
