- January 30, 2012, 20:02:46 PMI went back and found a pic of your bike. I see what you mean. I am a bit color blind and computer monitors do impact shades of color. Also, surroundings can modify a color shade, but it does look like the color used on the 2000 1500. I think the 1500 color is a bit darker, but its hard to tell from the pic I saw. Did you buy from the original owner? Did he special order the bike? In any event, if the bike looks the same in person, you may have a uniquely colored 800.

- January 28, 2012, 15:03:35 PMFrom what I have been reading the colors the 2000 Drifter 800 came in were Sky Blue or Pearl Burnish Beige but mine is Turquoise Blue-Green (I think it's the same color the 1500 was that year). From what I have been reading the fenders and tanks are not interchangeable so what do I have here? From what I was told by the previous owner the bike has not been repainted. Are there any other colors out there that came from the factory that have fallen through the cracks? Don't really care if it's rare, just curious.
