The red looks a bit like bronze/brown on my screen, but it is the bright pearl Mazda red

I just wanted to bring it to life and was doing a red bike anyway, so two birds with one stone.

These are the only pics of the original paintwork I could find. The full bike photo was thanks to Xavier. The tail photo was in the RZ Bible.   |

I just wanted to bring it to life and was doing a red bike anyway, so two birds with one stone. Rob, I totally appreciate you doing this and why you would want to. There are not many who decide to do something really different and going back into the history and finding something like this is super cool. It may not be everyones cup of tea but its nice to bring things like this back to life. I had a plan to build something in the style of the pre production LC with all the things/designs in the pics in the Japanese books. It wouldnt look like or 'be an LC' as most people would think as such as things would 'be wrong', but it would be cool and different... to me. And thats what counts. Never did get a frame for that project tho... you never know tho, one might come up.... |

I agree.
This will be a unique build but as Yamaha thought it might look like. Go for it mate.

I like different paintjobs, and the fact it was originally an Lc scheme and colour makes it all the better. Nice to see something different  Dusty  |

Thank god this was a pre-production bike in Xavier’s photo that we didn’t end up with those nasty rectangular indicators. Are they chrome on the backs?
