I've been waiting for Triumph to bring back the green and silver paint scheme which was available around 05/06 and each year when new models are released I eagerly check the new colors and year after year no dice. Mostly dark blue and white for the newer 2 tones. But then I saw this link: http://www.ultimatemotorcycling.com/files/2011-triumph-america-preview%202.jpgThat sure looks like green to me. Then I saw the same picture in the Triumph digital brochure for cruisers. Now it it probably an optical illusion or and it really is just a dark blue but it sure looks like dark green to me. So I know this is probably dumb question but does it look green to anyone else?

04-05 were the Goodwood Green years. They were the fastest and the best. Rumor has it that they had to limit production for safety reasons. Too many people with big smiles going really fast. I think Popular Mechanics actually did a piece on how the green made them faster.

Too bad that Ultimatemotorcyling picture is green and white instead of Goodwood Green and Silver...without the silver it just won't be as quick as the 04/05 models :-)

That picture makes it look green but its probably an illusion. The picture has been "softened" which is probably causing the illusion.
That said, I do like the option of Green/White. That would be nifty.

I hate that tank design too, I also wish they had bearing on the cams for re-building purposes. I read our engines do not have main bearings on the crank either, does anyone know for sure if that is the case or not?

Here is a pic of my 04, never should have sold it! Might have to buy say an 04 black and then see if I can order the greenwood green tins from Triumph! http://pbckt.com/pJ.NkKeuG

That's pretty clever, Ron! Where'd ya find it? Or, did you Photoshop that yourself?
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I have thought about the "when its time to repaint" about having the silver and gold pin strip taped off and going with a , umm opardon me, classic Brittish Green from the morgan or the MG. I have always loved that dark green polished like a mirror.tons of coats and tons of clear.

I made it Dwight. Little bit of text and a paste with Photoshop. But now! It is scientifically proven!
