    Sounds quite reasonable, would that be the semi synthetic or the fully synthetic? Actually, I think that's cheaper than they were asking in Duty Free (ripoff).

    Maybe Honda have discovered that this paint combination has anti gravity properties, I wish . Mind you, I don't suppose the LeoVinces I am about to fit this week will totally restore the balance against all the fitted farkles.

    I like it with my left eye half open and the right fully shut , missing a set of crash bars, proper alloy framed brush gaurds and a centre stand (left eye now fully opened) , White plastic matched luggage, please Honda you might as well have big stickers on them stating "BMWannabeADVTouringHairdresser" with apologies to any proper barbers

    Oooh, the best @ colours on a Vara. Admittedly, the panniers make the back end look like a Polis Pan, but the front end's nice. P'raps a bit too much red at the front - they could've started the raggedy bits earlier... Nothing some farkles wouldn't improve, though. Gold wheels would've finished it off nicely, too, just to keep the scheme together.

    I'm afraid any aesthetic comments from GS owners are automatically filtered this end through the "look what you're riding" gate... At least it looks like it's finished...

    As has already been pointed out, all a bit ironic considering Honda have completely missed the bus on replacing the @ itself...

    That's a good Q - wish I'd thought of it - deserves an answer, so ...........

    The answer is it was the dealership who had the paintjob done.
    I'm on the Safe House List
    03 TA Blue, Givi bars, centre stand, Givi Pannier racks, heated grips, MRA Vario - smooth!

    Also 4x4 with a towbar - and a trailer!
