Does anyone know what colors the '06 Rocket III will come in? I've got an '03 Speed Triple now, but my next bike will be a Rocket III. I love that "rust orange", but saw it's only available if you purchase the $2500 kit. Any thoughts??

Been lobbying for BRG and/or Jaguar Racing Green, a '04-05 model year finish, lighter than BRG and metallic, since day one. In vain? Just hope that, at least, they don't emulate the current Audi, BMW, Merc (etc.) arguably "popular" (aka "vulgar") palette, i.e. 5 or more kinds of metallic greys each.

Anyway, cardinal RED will continue prevailing, at least in non-color blind eyes. Even more so, paradoxically, if Triumph DELETED that hue from its '06 catalogue :hammer:

I think the bike would be great in green as well. I sincerely hope that Triumph expands the color pallet to more than just 3 colors. There is enough demand to justify such a move.

If it were available I would have gone purple when I bought my bike. I am a huge Mopar fan and plumb crazy is where it is at!!!

Turning purple? Then huge? Then crazy?

This is a motorcycle forum, Vonbonds.

Would you PLEASE show some moderation? :wink:

Whatever color it is, I hope they add a few. Then maybe an increased color selection will stop all the bickering about what color is "fastest" since the world ain't black 'n white, er red anymore...

... something tells me, nahhh.

Just called my friend at Hinckley, the 2006 colors are as follows: Cardinal Red, Branished Red, Ruby Red, Candy Red, and, of course, fire engine RED. The reason for this drastic change in color lineup is due to serious losses in profit over the "sickly repulsive" colors of black and primer gray in 2005......Thankyou, and have a nice day!!

ps: purple? what are you, a fag?

Word has it that they're sticking to the same 3 colors. They couldn't find any colors faster than red. They're keeping the black and grey for the disabled that wish to go slow.
