Tangerine and Opal....

An informal survey as to what colors are considered the best for the T100. I have to admit...Tangerine and Opal has caught my eye...maybe because I have never owned a white motorcycle...not sure. Compare that to say Black and Opal....or is Black and Red considered the best color combo for the T100?

I dig the tangerine and opal for sure. All black bonnies are sweet too.

I've always liked the black and opal best for a T100. Looks great with a classic tank badge too.

Of course, black bonnies are the best color!

I thought it maybe cool to have an opal white helmet with orange stripe to match that paint scheme. What color helmet do you wear?

Classic Tuxedo

I admit i like the Creamcycle. Who doesn't? But I wouldn't want one everyday if you know what I mean.

Just today in town I was walking past another bike towards my black and opal T100 and I thought "That tuxedo look is classic". It is. Classic. And I think the eye brow design on the tank compliments the lines.

Triumph hasn't produced a T100 yet that I don't like the paint colors of. However, I do wish they didn't just throw black side covers on every single color combo. Just my opinion, but tangerine and opal doesn't look quite right with a white tank and fenders (oops... I meant mudguards) and black side covers. I like it even better in the case of innominate's T100, with the side covers painted to match. Now that's a nice looking Bonnie right there.

Thumbs up Tang & Opal

A sore spot w/ me!! I did a hand shake w/ the dealer & was to P/U on following tues. Bike gone!! I think the prettiest color combo made - w/ the chrome Pkg!! I wound up in the showroom w/ a BB there. I spent 4 hrs sitting & designing the BB into something special after the shock of my cremecycle being gone!! Got a good deal & designed a 1 of ! Not real bummed now but I think the Tang & Opal is /was the most unkique color combo's ever!!
Did a BB w/ the whole chrome pkg (@ cost ) due to the dealer screwing me for a cash customer! I think sitting in the showroom sulking/ thinking for 4 hrs made him want to get rid of me? $$ wise- I did well & delivered, Ai gone & new helmet & 4 T-shirts! A few other goodies & $500 off. I was & still am a HAPPY camper!! Love the T&O but wouldnt trade my BB special for anything!! Treasure the T&O!! I doubt they will do them agai n!!

Very nice looking bike innominate! Lots of nice mods that go very well together!

I am a fan of Tang & Opal too - came very close to buying one. On a visit to the dealer a Black & Opal caught my eye.



I've got spare bodywork now for a custom paint project - still trying to decide on colors - so many to choose from!
The Cobalt blue scheme is also fantastic looking.
