JPN blue for me.

was it this one...? Pic taken 2010 NEC bike show UKAs far as the cool black look goes, I remember a video that Garner made very early on in which he was riding a prototype 961 that was a CR with all black body work, wheels, headers/silencers, and engine covers. It looked badass. I can't find the video anywhere, but it was way cool. It had a different designation code like SM or SB. Damn, which I could find that video.
Looks like it.
Needs black forks too…Looks like it.
The primary cover was black also.
Looked pretty bitchin' in the sunlight.
I guess if they blacked out the engine too, they could call it the "Shadow."
Nicknamed The Panther, this was a company pet right until near the final few weeks where it was sold. It was the same bike that Michael Dunlop rode around the IoM. I also rode it around the IoM a few years later in 2016.
I like the look of black wheels .Talking black wheels v polished wheels ref the aesthetic of the bike. Performance wise, I wonder if BST would now be interested in modifying their carbon wheels for ABS 961’s, past and present? Whole lot more of them around now.
Single greatest performance mod for these bikes! They Look pretty good too, as long as yer not completely hung up on the vintage appearance - then it’s gotta be polished I suppose.

Nice preproduction engine cases, machined from billet. There was only a few sets of those, I fitted one set to Skinners Domiracer #50....they polished up absolutely amazing compared to the production engine cases/covers.View attachment 117060
In scotland the government Fu*kits (snp) have just given a list of genders they recognise. 24 of them. Grief !!!! Possibly all who could ride a norton ?Ignore people like Al…
Silver ones DEFINITELY have their place…
How else are we to encourage more lady, and other non binary / non male, riders ??
That’s the marketing list for silver 961s …In scotland the government Fu*kits (snp) have just given a list of genders they recognise. 24 of them. Grief !!!! Possibly all who could ride a norton ?
Black and gold for me !!That’s the marketing list for silver 961s …
