I've seen a few bikes done in Castrol colours knocking about and often pop up on ebay, but as far as I'm aware they (Honda) never did an official Castrol Firestorm

would either be a paint job by a body shop or after market pre painted fairings from say Hong Kong

The rarest colour I would say would be the Jerz Blue metallic B-154M (think that's the correct code) other wise known as Teal by most.

As far as I'm aware the 'teal' storm/hawk was never offered for sale in that colour in the states either mate.


- Very old pic of mine in its original 'teal' coat before its mishaps and rebuilds

Not sure if they did - Just the Honda UK 50th Anniversary scheme subcontracted out - I recall Honda did a CBR600 (900?) a Rossi Rep Nastro Azzuro Colours scheme when he was with them around 2002 but it didn't feature on the Storm.

Castrol Reps feature on SP2s but I'm sure they are aftermarket jobbies or were for the UK allocated 800 bikes which offered customers "a Castrol Honda sticker kit to customize your SP-2 for that genuine just-out-the-Colin-Edwards-salon look." *
