what colour is my 2002 gen 1?

[nickodemon]

What colour is this 2002 gen 1? Is it galaxy blue or deep purplish blue? I am considering buying a full fairing for it, but the colour is wrong, so i want to paint it the right colour.

DPMBC - Deep Purple Metallic Blue Cocktail................. The fastest without doubt!!!

[nickodemon]

Cheers. Love the gold wheels   I thought it might be galaxy blue as the later gen 1 has a darker blue and would sound more like deep purple metallic blue cocktail?

thats some good info, but the greys are missing from it?

[RMT1983]

Greys are a FZ1 American import aren't they???

I copied and pasted it all from and earlier post so cant take the gratitude for it, just sharing the info   

[nickodemon]

There is also silver tech and silver storm colours. Silver tech were the earlier ones...

nope, mines is a Grey/black UK spec bike (I believe the OP Nickodemon also has a UK spec grey & black one) - but you did get similar looking grey/black ones which were the FZ1 imports. not that its relevant to this thread

[nickodemon]

I think yours is the same colour as mine.. Silver storm/ black engine (2004/5 model) The only grey model was a 2005 with silver engine.
