green cb 500

HI has anyone seen the green cb 500 on ebay with the red engine the bike looks ok apart from that don't know why they have done the paint job on it

post up a link

Just tried to do a link on it but failed miserably its quicker to look on ebay

Its pretty horrible.

That's offensive!

euragh! that's awful - from the overspray in one of the pics it looks like the red was sprayed in situ

It says it has been 'blinged' a bit!!!! do they mean the rusty scuff marks on the exhaust??? lol

Ha ha! Yeah, I saw that. I thought I'd wait and see if anyone else comments first. Apart from that horrid paint, it looks alright.

NOOOOO!!! badseeds has a project in his mind!!!

Well..... It's only 100 miles away and I do seem to have a thing about green PC26s*.



*some drum-braked CB500s were stamped as PC32. These are the first of the Italian-built machines using parts made in Japan. Supposedly rare, but there's fuggin' loads of 'em about; I've got two!

Yeah already seen that. Wtf was the rationale there? An act of revenge by an ex partner? An attempt to give new meaning to the term she's got the painters in? Or simply the result of a paranoid schizophrenic at play? We may never know. However one thing is certain - that shade of red and green should never be seen, to quote Hyacinth Bucket.

That's almost exactly what my wife said when I showed her that bike!

I think a traditional navy blue would've been far more complementary. Please solicit the opinion of your better half before application though. Also, do not attempt to replicate the seller's brush work - such a rustic finish can only really be truly accomplished by the master craftsman.

Oh, you can be sure of that, but I shall take heed

Yep it looks like the chain got a coat of red in places too

its called pizazz, and its oozing

If anyone knows how to do a link on this poor bike please feel free then we can have another look at it

The link still works. I've got it in my watch list. It ends in 24hrs and has had no bids up from an optimistic (with that bloody red paint) £499.

Good luck with it

Wow. I need one of them...

There is only one of them.

They even managed to get some on the chain as well! 

What? No bids?

Well that was hardly a bidding war how did you get on badseeds

Oh, I didn't bid on the bloody thing!
