What color? (or colour if you prefer)

[qc415]

the time has finally come to repaint the triple as it's A. PINK B. supposed to rain for a few days and C. a local body shop that used to sponser a race team for my buddy said they have some time to fill and would do anything I want for $150(with or without pearl added, no chromolusion\chameleon paints). At this point I'm thinking either roulette green or black with some sort of pearl in it. Any thoughts, suggestions? feel free to post pics

How about centennial green with gold logos...

Or you could get the black pearl bodywork and silver logos.

Nothing wrong with a pink Speed Triple

[qc415]

very true and if the paint wasn't beat up I would probably just keep riding it pink but pink is not really in the running for my color of choice on a repaint. talking to the guy today he said triumph actually is correct when they say nuclear "red," he said it is actually red with a coat of blue pearl on top of it which give it a pink look. i'm still torn between roulette green or black(thinking either copper or orange pearl). i had a thought though today and i was wondering if anybody had seen a 955 with the orange they offered on the first generation?

got bored in pshop and made an orange one........i think i actually like that over the green or black. thoughts?

My vote goes for Triumph's own Racing Yellow. Way cool. Check out the picture thread sticky, there's a yeller one buried fairly deep.

i think i'm going to go with a dark gray metallic probably similiar to bmw's silver gray metallic. should look something like the pshop below. any other colors i should be considering? i took a look at the yellow\blue\red that triumph has and decided they're not really for me.

Black & Blue

[qc415]

that blue does look beautiful on the new one but mine is minus the black frame and wheels. at this point i'm thinking that i'm probably just going to ride it until it dies so painting it a stock color for resale value is not really something i care about.

The original "Fireball Orange" was a good color that would look good on a new S3. The problem being they would probably go with the "Tangerine" that they used on the Speed Four. I bought one thinking it would grow on me. It didn't.

Good pic and photocrop by the way, qc415.

I like my Blue just fine and wouldn't change it, although I think the Yellow is fantastic as well.

If I ever do change it I will probably go with a Black under a dark red pearl. Looks black in the dark, but wine colored in the sunlight.
