Yes thee very exact same red that is on the tank panel decals on your White bike. Only 1988 Black bikes had a Red frame.

I have one identical, its one of the very first UK bikes built, registered June 1988 on E939 WCY only one owner from new before me. Its in bits at the moment though just collecting stuff for it still.

Endurance Blue is better I think on an 88 model, I have one of these in bits also F403 MJM just got the NOS headlamp cowl for it last week. The last part of the plastics that I needed for it, been in bits for over a year now but its really hard to find all the new Sky Blue stuff and original decals these days. Well its taken me over a year to collect them anyway.

I should never have sold this one looking back on it lol.

@scrimsmustang looks like you've have some good ones, wish I'd known you before I got any of mine as I was only meant to buy 1 decent example
-
Keep the White one it looks great.

@scrimsmustang it's hard mate do you know when you buy some for good money I gave £2200 for it and soon as I had it I noticed lose bolt bolts missing the I have a speed wobble that was horrible the tyre had cracked up I don't know how he got it through a not then I had the issue with the oil baffle plate and the water propeller I've gotten to hate the bike if he lived closer I'd of been banging his door for my money back it's a shame as it is a good looking bike but it's destroyed my ideas of having 1 I just want rid of everything dt/we

The original Yamaha colours were miles better than the garish shell-suit ones which followed. That blue bike is / was stunning
-
@nottsbiker Not to mention the paint on the spanish built ones were poo.
-
I have spent hours looking for parts in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, USA, so know what you mean about parts for early bikes. Didn't realise how difficult it would be, or the cost (shipping is a killer)
-
Try owning a 3SH TDR then tell me about hard to find parts
NLA is all I get when I search for bits on Fowlers etc. Least I've got a complete parts list
