Can't miss you because of what looks like a bright lemon yellow paintjob (on my screen anyhow)? I presume that's custom painted? I discovered recently that what I thought was my 1993 "blue" GTS is not blue. After some recent vandalism, I had to order replacement indicators, and they came in a medium blue metallic with a slight purple tinge, whereas my bike is a dark blue metallic with a slight grey-greenish tinge. The dealers (http://www.flitwickmotorcycles.co.uk/) hadn't seen the bike, when they asked me what colour to order, I said blue because I presumed (after endless messages on this list) that there were just two possibilities for a UK GTS (i.e. red or blue). But it turns out that according to Yamaha UK, my bike is *green*. Looking at the picture in Ride magazine last month, I can see that the bike they featured is definitely (purplish) blue. My colour vision is not perfect (I'm borderline on the pilot's "green light at night" recognition), but it's not *that* bad! Is there a paint code label anywhere on a GTS?
