The oki scheme is my favourite. I am aiming for a decent oki.

What is the colour of the OKI scheme theme. It looks like a more orange than red as most replicas I've seen always paint it red. I'm thinking of doing an OKI scheme now as I had finally saved up for the full carbon fairings from Tyga and they emailed me last night to say they are discontinued so I am very very disappointed right now!

If anyone can give me recommendations on the colour code of the OKI scheme I'd appreciate it as it's my next favourite scheme after my carbon fetish

I don't understand why they're always painted red. This blatantly looks like orange to me:

Yeah, I believe it's a shade of fluorescent red (a bit like that used on some of the Marlboro Yams) and very susceptible to different lighting conditions. Hence why it looks orange in some pics and red in others.

Thats the 1992 scheme, not the 1991 scheme ,which I reckon the 1992 scheme is a darker colour.

A close colour is tygas rc211v replica project bike or whatever it is.

I dunno how I'll get a painter to match it

It's the same 1991 bike - Doohan's name is on the screen, 1992 was Gardner/Beattie.

It's the same colour mate, just different hues in different light.

The vid I posted is the '91 scheme.

I'm pretty sure the pics you posted are the '92 scheme. It even says Daryl on it from what I can see. And the black wheels and orange paint breaking away
