Silver Thunderbirds

Have trolled the site and found heaps of good shots on Black and many.many more on the Blue model.
Can anyone out there post up some good shots of a Silver one.
Maybe our good friend with the Photoshop can run up one of beaut photos of a Silver with dual h/lights etc.
looking forward to some Silver shots ,as that is the only colour I can get at the moment,and I am not real sure that I like it,or wait 5 months for a blue one.
Cheers.
Steve

Once you click on a pic and it appears at the left of the page in bigger format, click where it says "all sizes" to get the real big pic.

Silver is nice, but everyone knows black is the fastest color.

I've seen the silver in person both inside and in the sunlight. I think the black stripe helps the silver bike alot.

Saw a pretty silver bird at Clinton Cycles in Maryland this morning, with ABS, looking for a new home. (Mine's blue) -j.

Finally saw the Black and the Silver TBs in person today at Martins Motor Sports. The Silver color looks much better in person than in the pictures. Of course that has been the story all along with the T Birds. But I think more so with the Silver as it didn't do anything for me in the pics but looked really nice in person. The black stripe with the Silver is a big thumbs up.

Normally when a manufacturer specs multiple colors I think the black looks best. I'm also not a big fan of silver bikes or cars. So when my dealer called and said he had a used silver one I thought 'great I'll get to test ride the bike" not thinking that I would buy it. But there is something about it in person that really works with the silver, maybe it it the black stripe I don't know. Even my wife, who likes silver less than me, had to say just how darn good looking it is. I'll post pics monday.

Steve,
I am the happy owner of a Silver. I think they are all cool colors. When I first saw pics of the silver I thought no..too "grayish". But when I saw one in person at my dealers I really liked it.
The black is cool but gloss blacks are very hard to keep clean and like scratches. Also like the contrast of the engine better with the silver.
Blue was my first choice, but I've had "colored" bikes before and after seeing the silver I made my decision.
I am, after 3000 miles on it, madly in love with it.

I waffled between black and sliver. The silver does have that sort of pit bull look to it. I have not however had the chance to see one in person. Does it have the same sort of offsetting pin stripes along the main stripe like the blue with it's sliver pin? My dealer has a blue and white one now. I have to say I'm not a fan of that one personally but it sure has a lot of fans.
