Me too....the red one gets my vote, it's sweet. The yellow one would look much nicer if the tank was painted yellow for whatever my opinions worth.
 For a while now I've been thinking of building a 350 version once I've cleard the shed backlog. All I've got is a Thor swingarm, a set of 15" Works shocks and an '81 250 donor motor but it's a start ;D the other stuff will appear when and if I decide to build it.  ;)

Yellow does it for me ....maybe beacause it blends in with the back ground better ( green ) not the fence   :)

I like them both but the yellow is cool cos it's a bit different.
When do we get a test ride Paul?
