961 in Chimay

Is this a production model ?

Fast Eddie · Jul 26, 2018

Well kinda, it’s a Cafe Racer with an alloy tank and a red frame.

Not seen a red framed 961 before myself.

Not too keen on seeing another anytime soon either!

Well the bike can’t be more than 2 & half years old,u can request one off paint jobs etc, but I would say it may be a damaged repairable ,& guy replaced tank with the lush alloy one & decided on ford Rosso red paint frame , not my 1st choice on an alternative

Err, sorry but I actually like it.

In my book there are only two colours a frame can be. Black or red.

cliffa · Jul 27, 2018

No three,
black, red or gunmetal.

In my book there are only four colours a frame can be, black, red, gunmetal or nickel.

Fast Eddie · Jul 28, 2018

You’re right, it is four: Black, silver, gunmetal, nickel...
