What is up with Aprilia colors?

Okay,

The Aprilia naked bikes--well they look really lame. Check out these colors. Are they selling them at Walmart or what?

Is it you dislike the color, or the graphics? Local dealer has a blue one I was looking at yestereay. Its not bad..............I wouldn't consider it mind. I know they are a great bike, but I just don't like the looks of them. Somehow it looks too busy and I can't see all the motor........
The Speed Triple on the other hand................looks like a proper motorcycle.

Wee bit biased here, but I LOVE me some Aprilia graphics. Half retro-weird, half post-modern paint spill. Completely off the wall, bonkers - matches the engine well. At least they're not all black. And I heart colored seats.

The colours are not all that bad, you have to admit it is different. It sets one apart from the rice burners. I have found owning a triumph is unique cause just like owning one of those Tuono's having a daytona sets me apart from the rice burners.

Matt, it would seem that your tastes don't trend toward the high market items.
Sorry about that!

Oh come on now.

Does anyone think this is good looking? I mean, the cheesy blue saddle and weird checker blue graphics with blue wheels?...Right....
You don't have to part of the fashion police to know that it's fugly.
