... wait! Hold your horses! I don't get your inside joke about Candy Bacchus Olive being the fastest colour of all!

No joke, it is a well documented, cold fact.  8)
C'mon, please, serious reply. I'm curious...

What country used the flake orange on a K6 Dream ?  One you did not mention was they also used it on the 1975 F0 750 here.

Several of the Europe markets had K6 sunrise flake orange, sapphire blue and candy antares red color availability. (France, Germany, European Direct, etc.) A few of my file photos below, notice the low factory euro bars and tail lights. 



There was also Polynesian Blue, I recently painted my K4 that color.....



I missed this post! AMAZING colour! I love it! Was it originally available? I see that the stripes and decals are not there but who cares! I love this colour!
I'm seriously thinking of getting a Z1 but... someone suggested I get a K7 and play with it as I like...

Yes, Polynesian Blue was a European only color for the K1.  My K4 is an 836 and not a stock restore, hence the lack of stripes and side cover badges. I prefer more of a clean look for this one.
