Triumph Colorways

See aprillia 660. The mad yellow with red wheels, practically zero graphics. Lovely.

but what do I know I bought a sparkly primer and black striped Speed Twin.

not sure I would have the bottle to buy one in “Nuclear Red”

Love the big triumph graphics on the trident though.

 

I am getting seriously worried by the number of interior designers popping up on this forum.

 

An interesting topic. At the Birmingham bike show in 2019 ( the biggest UK bike show) I was talking to a sales guy on the Triumph stand and asked if I wanted to take part in some customer research on future models. I said yes and was whisked away into a separate booth and shown some sketch details of future colour schemes and asked to comment on each. The bike was apparently a “generic model” not a bike in manufacture. None of the multi colour schemes offered looked good, the bikes looked best in single colour blocks and I responded in this way. Now the Trident has been released, I think the bike outline they used may have been this bike, even though they said it was a mock up. So, it appears they are researching the way to go but perhaps the demographic of the people they are asking is wrong ? It’s a difficult thing to get right based upon their classic tag line and play on nostalgia. I quite like the look of the new Trident with the flag on the tank, the other multi coloured bikes don’t do much for me. I ride a 2018 Speed Triple RS in white and I think that was a good scheme. The 2020 bikes were not to my taste.

 

Already made my comments about colours on the Trident thread. Poor showing and lack of imagination by the team responsible.

 

I know @dilligaf comes from the dark side and would like everything so black that no light escapes... ever!

personally I like colour on a bike/car and I’m pretty bored with all the pewter/grey/dark silver stuff out there. It can’t be too big a deal to do a ltd run of tanks and highlights on a pre-order basis can it? Bring on the rainbow special or the pink sparkle unicorn edition... (only joking @Duckadiledundee) but I love black and yellow bikes, one needs adding to the range!!!

 

Paint the wheels anything but black. Job jobbed.

eg Street Triple black with the gold wheels , JPS N****n a-like. Sweet. And makes bikes look 10kg lighter.

Callumity, mate I'm more Got None than Gok Wan.

 

Now don’t you come over all Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen......

 

So it's your fault then

 

Errrm, errrrrrrrm. I feckin hope not !!!

 

I agree that the colour choices are a bit dull, particularly on a bike that for me has no stand-out features in terms of design. Opportunity missed?

Saying that, I seem to have gone from this



to this



so I can't talk
