In 1984 Bike magazine (UK) gave away this RS, part of the prize was the two-tone blue colour scheme. Although I always knew the bike was a prize, I only got a copy of the magazine 2 months ago via e-bay.
In 1985 I bought the bike from the lad who won it (he couldn't afford to insure it after the prize insurance had expired). It had 2000 miles on the clock. This picture is from '85, just before I fitted the fork gaiters.
It has now done just over 90000 miles, but sadly doesn't get much use these days, as 90% of my riding is shared between the outfit and the Vincent.
I bought the belly-pan in '85 and sent it to Dream Machine, asking them to paint it in a style to match their paintwork.
