Matte Orange Street Triple R

I know many of us have been waiting to see what this beast of a color will look like, so... here's a treat.

Here

The front flyscreen visor looks really ugly though..

Strange.

Not quite sure how to get a link up without it auto-embedding...

Try http://www.youtube.com/

I like the orange color, as it's so different....but not in matte. Looks like a tangerine to me. I'd bet it would really sing in GLOSS orange though!

I don't mind the orange color. I know it will stand out, and that's what I was looking for.

Gloss would have been nicer but the matte is nice too... And I did overhear that Matte paint eventually turns glossy if rubbed too much....

If it had come out in the gloss like its big brother, I absolutely would have waited. It looks crazy hot on the Speed Triple!

Love my Matte Graphite! Even more pleased with my choice now.

I really prefer the matte finish, especially in person - there's certain subtlety to it.

I will say that it dirties a little easier, though...the clearcoat must have a satin finish or something that holds onto the dirt and grime more.

Doesn't look so great in real life, kind of has that found in the desert look, the Speed in shiny orange looked like the guy that owned it sprang for good paint and some wax IMHO

To each their own.

I love the orange color on my Street Triple R. It's incredibly unique where I am. I always get compliments and looks and nods from people in cars
