I see on the '06 poop sheet for the Tiger that there is no longer Orange!? I can't believe that they would not build Tigers in their natural color!

One of the things that put me off buying a new 06 Tiger was the poor choice of colours. Blue, silver and black just didn't do it for me like the orange did! :-D

The best looker of them all was 04: Black frame, burning Lucifer orange and black trim.
The silver frame and trim sort of emasculated the bike.
Tiger colour schemes should make a statement and not try to be elegant. The bike is macho - the colours need to be, too.
Blue Tiger? I doubt very much tigers get the blues!

you echo my thoughts exactly. Mind you the green 05 with the silver frame did look quite fetching.

OOpsss.....!! Please forgive the linguistic irregularities of an unscholared. poor Norwegian...

By the way, when you have the tank off, take a good look at it and see the uncanny resemblance to one of the Star Wars spacecraft!!

I agree. I wanted an orange one, but ended up with a Caspian Blue. It's okay; not like I'm unhappy with it, but the orange did look cute.

I just posted a new thread about this very subject! I didn't see this before I started the other. I am riding a Bonnie but am think about a Tiger but no Orange!!! What is Triumph thinking?? The KTM 950 Adventurer in Orange is really cool and a great bike in the same class. I wonder if Triumph would listen if enough people spoke up?
