I bought my Matte Black 2010 Speed Triple because it was the last 2010 within 500 miles of me. I could have traveled to get the next closest bike in orange, which was really the color I wanted but I didn't think it would matter that much.
Today I saw an orange one at the Barber Vintage Festival and now I definitely wish I'd gotten the orange one.
I think I may have to try to find someone that wants to trade orange parts for matte black!
My roulette green 07 got more comments and attention than my 09 orange and was also faster, so you are right about orange being the 2nd fastest colour .
I still have a weak spot for roulette green and if my 09 ever needs painting well green it will be.
It's good to see that I'm not alone in touring with Speedy. I'll say that most everybody that I met on the road that commented on the bike loved the color. I think the Hot Green gets more reaction to either loving it or hating it.
