I am confused.
What colour should marron be?
Why is it called blue and red?
Which red? I assume candy ruby red.
But the k2 or k3 never came in candy antares red.
And boss maroon whas never even a colour for the 750 in Europe.
It makes no sense at all.
I think since the drawings are not really helping the colours should be
candy ruby red (the dark red), planet blue metallic (blue)
And candy flake orange (the light 'red').
But candy custom gold was introduced on the late k1 and continued with the k1.
Since the production in Europe went on with the k2 which was produced from 1972 till 1975
and during this production this colour was also available for the k2 there is no reason whatsoever to assume
it was only introduced in 1973. Especially since the colours in Europe (unlike in the USA) were not determened by year.
They were all k2s.
Interesting when you look at the K3 renderings.
They appear to have early taillight, early style stripes. And the headlite ears ! At first they look like 72, but.. but appear to have small reflector.. So I suspect K0 style, then chromed.
What is really weird is I found a rough blue one that looked like K0 style with small reflector, but blue paint..
No the rear light in Europe remained the same since k1 I believe.
We never had these big rearlights the later k3, 4 or 5 had.
Even the K6 had the small rearlight in Europe.
Same for the lining on the tank. It changed in Europe to the k6 in 1976. Again skipping k3, k4, k5.
