The Eurosport is also significantly restyled with a larger fuel tank, a nose fairing, side panels, seat, and tail unit that share much more modern lines. In the UK only two color options were made: white metallic with blue and red striping, or black with orange and silver stripes. The instrumentation is improved with the introduction of a fuel gauge and like the rest of the bike a much updated appearance.

The Eurosport is also significantly restyled with a larger fuel tank, a nose fairing, side panels, seat, and tail unit that share much more modern lines. In the UK only two <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">color </ins>options were made: white metallic with blue and red striping, or black with orange and silver stripes. The instrumentation is improved with the introduction of a fuel gauge and like the rest of the bike a much updated appearance. Plastic mudguards replace the chromed steel versions on the earlier machines curing the associated rust problems. The round headlight of the early bikes is also replaced with a rectangular lens which gives improved night lighting. </div></td></tr>
