Hi everyone. First ever post on this forum and brand new member.
Took delivery of my bike a couple of days ago.
The Love Affair with this bike goes back over 20 years when I was a humble pizza delivery boy. At the time I was riding in Aprilia RS 50, but a guy I was working with has just picked up a brand-new VTR 1000 F in what I was led to believe at the time was Dream Machine Honda colours. I’ve never seen one in those colours since, until last week when I spotted one for sale in what looks to me to be exactly the same colour scheme.
As soon as I got back from holiday, I did a deal with the guy and bought the bike.
The only difference I think in the colour scheme between my bike and the one from all those years ago, was that my friend at the time bought their bike, brand-new from an authorised Honda dealer with the colours already done, I believe by a company called dream machine in the north of the UK.
I still have the Receipt and invoice for the paint work that was done to my bike, in the year 2000, some three years after it rolled off the production line in its original colour of red.
So I guess this post is to introduce myself and my bike, and also to ask if anybody knows what this colour scheme was called, who was doing it and, as it’s faded in places, maybe who might be the right people to bring it back to its original lustre.
There might even someone on here with the same paint scheme! Anyway I love it!
Anyway, long enough, first post, thanks very much in advance.
