Not sure, but there is now!
I had a matt black XJ750 when I was a bike courier in london in the late 80's early 90's, but did it myself with some spray cans, and I'd guess this is a similar thing. Looks ok though.
Is it me though or does that "R" decal resemble a GSX-R decal , minus the GSX?

Not a standard colour - almost certainly a respray job
Falco Colours
Has the US market decals with the go-faster "R" on the seat unit - can't decide whether the frame is the lighter grey of the US models or not (either way it's not a standard colour)

Looks smart as!
Something about the way the nosecone looks along the edge of the screen and the crack on the clock and the way the decals are (although im trying to recall the last matt black RSV I saw and how the decals looked on that), makes me think it's a respray. Possibly isn't, but thats my immediate thoughts looking at it
Looks brill though!

That's exactly the paint job I'm going for when I can afford it.
Sans stickers though, just out and out bad boy stealth black, oooh I'm such a rebel (rebel without a clue my wife reckons and she's probably right).
Interesting sidestand though, long way out and pretty skinny looking Bubsewoo perhaps?

I've got the matching crack on my speedo as well, although my bike DOES need a respray.

Interesting. That frame definitely looks to be a different colour than stock, the later bikes were a much darker grey than that. Looks good though. I'd guess a Cat C or D write-off that's been reborn.

Never been to America, so couldn't comment. And no pictures that come out of America are true. And their cheese is nasty.
