Would've been nice to have a Green frame in there as well
Great pic

Where did you get the 1199 decals from?

Cheers,

gold rims and paint the subframe that connects the seat gold and you've got a full 916-like color scheme....

No kidding, about $2500 new for the sport and 62 HP. Both are beautiful bikes. From the look of yours, you could have probably traded it for the R and got some change back. Glad you didn't.
