It's had a re-spray at some stage. You have Honda wings on the Tank and they only came with the later model Storms and 19l tank. I wonder what colour the bike was originally.

It's possible the paint code sticker is still on the sub-frame..... if it is the one that came with the bike

IIRC The Orange colours where only produced between 1999 and 2001 and this was before the later models with the 19L tank with honda wings came out. That's why it caught my eye with the wing decal and reason for thinking it had a re-spray.

Paint code is Pearl Lively Orange YR-179P and should be on the sticker on the left hand side inside the subframe.

We never got orange ones here

It's looks like ford focus orange as you can see the pearl in the paint .
The standard orange hasn't that much pearl
