I'm wondering if anyone here has a 2006 S3 in the
special order Orange color as mentioned in:

http://www.sharercycle.com/new_vehic...sc=Motorcycles

I would've looked into this for myself, but I already had an Orange bike that I intend to keep, so Yellow for S3 it was....

Triumph makes a paint option in orange and black. It has a tribal design. It is a very expensive option. You get all new body work and tank.

Looks like an OKish color, if only it came without the tacky mid 1990s tribal graphics.



At £1,199.99 for the set you'll buy quite a barrel of the paint though and get your bike painted once a month.

Is this the Triumph paint "Fireball Orange", "Lucifer Orange" or something else?

I like the orange.

Get rid of all that dated tribal tattoo design and it would look good.

I don't get why they went with tribal. Traditional Celtic designs would have been more fitting. Put some knotwork on instead of those jaggy tribal designs.
