I was thinking about what colors I would like to see on our bikes and was curious on what others would like to see.I for myself would like to see the white and tangerine(a black and tangerine would be cool too)and a flat black on our bikes.

I think both the black & tangerine and white & tangerine would be good choices. I seem to remember the T-Bird had a orangish & black that looked quite nice. I think the orange was a metalic - I think the current non-metalic tangerene would be better.

Speedy needs some solid colors, like a true candy apple red, or candy tangerine. I must admit that Harley has some nice colors available. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's been said.

Yes, they have a new color out called Dragonfly Green. It is one of those color-shifting colors. It is noce but too metalic for my taste.
I wish that the Speedmasters had a more (Triumph) traditional paint scheme similar to the America or the Bonnies. However, I have always liked the greens that Triumph have always had and that would be nice on the Speedy. I am sure it is just a cost thing only offering a small selection of colors at a times.

One more quick thing... My step-daughter really likes the Speedmaster, but has gone nuts over the creamcicle Bonneville.

Pacific Blue with the old Speedmaster Sky Blue swooshes on the tank.
Or, I'd love to change the silver on my red tank to a cream or off white.

Soren,
She'd love my Frogg Toggs - I mean they are Creamcicle/Dreamcicle orange and white.

Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

What I want to do with mine someday is paint my bike dark slate gray metalic with some black metalic flames. It will be different and subtle.

Blue and white like the old Bonnie colors. I think the scrambler has that combo. A friend's older brother had one when we were kids. It's what brought me into the Triumph dealer looking for a Bonnie. Found out that Speedy fit me a lot better and looks a ton cooler.
Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to that fact and relax

Would love to see: Jacaranda purple with silver stripe and gold pin stripes- just like my first bike a 1970 T100 C.

That was one of my favorite color schemes.
