Hey everyone. I'm pulling the trigger tomorow on either a Bonnie Black, or Bonnie Silver.

What do you think? My wife likes the silver; I like the black more, but dig silver too....

Tough call here. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Once you go black - you never go back?? Been that way since my last silver bike. :???:

Go black. If your dealer has one.

Silver's a great color, both nothing beats black.

I do wish, however, that they still had silver engines in the black Bonnies. More traditional looking IMO.

Why? Too many H-D's.

I'm partial to the Greenwod Green. Whatever color you get, you can't go wrong with a Bonnie.

I suggest you buy both. Works out for the better. Other than that - I cant help you - cause I have both in the garage (with one to spare).

Go black for all the usual reasons and one more...you can't see the godforsaken tank seam as well on the black. If I had a lighter color I think I'd be constantly looking at it. Doesn't bother many people, but boy does it look like ****e to me! :hammer:

I just purchased a black and am very happy. I know what you mean. The contrast with the silver is very nice.

If you're after what the majority of people think you should have, then you'd be probably be buying a Harley. However, since you're buying a Triumph I'm guessing that you like to be different.

My suggestion is the silver Bonnie. Then add the black rubber tank pads to make the black side cover look like they belong. Plus, black paint is harder to care for as swirl marks are more visible.

Flip a coin. Either way you are a winner.
Whatever you chose. Insist they wipe down the header down pipes before they fire it up for the first time. Even do it youself if you have to...Congratulations.
