There's a one owner 1981 R100RS for sale in Queensland, Australia on FleaBay, but I believe the owner's sales techniques may not be fair or according to FleaBay regulations.

Check out the reflection in the tank and voice your opinion!

It seems to be working---it's got 53 watchers. Looks like an original top end. Obviously, there's no reserve on that one.

I wonder if those jugs are factory or aftermarket.

It can't be the only RS in Aussie and the paint is not original!

But a good way to get watchers

My thoughts exactly Chas. The 'smoke' on the tank looks like it was done with a 4" brush.

Maybe Chuey rethinks Daytona Orange.

That's a correct '81 red smoke RS paint scheme. It's the same un-pinstriped pattern as the "Polaris gray" smoke that was the alternative scheme. It's not as compelling as the earlier red smoke S models, but it's period-correct. It's not badly faded, and that's the only indication that it might not be factory-original.

The paint is reflective.

Bike was built 11/1981...maybe it's really an '82??

Who cares? Tell her to take more pictures of shiny reflective surfaces with less distortion.
