Triumph confirms new colour schemes and
model enhancements across the range

May 2012 sees a host of bold new colours, style motifs and improved aesthetics across Triumph’s model range, as the UK’s number one ‘big’ bike (500+cc) manufacturer continues to delight riders with contemporary upgrades and model improvements.

... The Hinckley-based manufacturer’s iconic Daytona 675 is first up for a refresh, with a striking new Sulphur Yellow paint scheme, which is underlined with yellow pin stripes on the wheels. With weight reduction a constant preoccupation with performance riders, the bike’s front mudguard, cockpit infills and exhaust heat shield all get the lightweight carbon fibre treatment. The new look Daytona also now comes with a quickshifter and billet levers to strike home the racing pedigree of the bike.

Triumph’s classic flagship model, the Bonneville is now available in an eye catching Imperial Purple/White colour scheme, which also sees the tank logo decal replaced with a badge. The engine cooling fins also enjoy new styling, adding to the retro look. Two other classic models benefit from new colour options, with the Thruxton offered in a classic Brooklands Green paint scheme, while the Scrambler will be available in a Matt Graphite coat.

Triumph’s award-winning Thunderbird cruiser is now available in Caspian Blue/Phantom Black and Marble Red Haze livery, while all the Thunderbird two-tone paint schemes will see this treatment extended to the front mudguards. The Thunderbird’s bigger brother, the Storm, gains a menacing Matt Graphite option.

The Speedmaster and America, Triumph’s entry-level cruisers, both enjoy revised finishing detail on the engine cooling fins for improved aesthetics and a more discreet oil pipe cooler. The Speedmaster comes in two new options - Matt Black and Sapphire Blue/Jet Black, while its American cousin drops the Caribbean Blue/White scheme in favour of a richer Sapphire Blue/White option.

Finally, the class-leading Speed Triple will also be available in Sulphur Yellow.

Sounds good but you can only really tell once you actually see the new colours on the bike. I am interested in seeing the Marble Red if it is what I think it will be really cool
 
Colour on a bike (or a car) is very important to me. I have to love it every time I look at it.
I don't care much for purple, but I will not make any judgement on the Bonneville colours until I see them.
I'm not in the market for a new bike anyway so it really doesn't matter, but I look forward to seeing the new colours.
 
When I first read this thread a couple of days ago I recalled that it was noted the Bonneville gas tank decal was being replaced by a badge. That didn't strike me or make an impression then until yesterday when I saw a new Bonneville filling up with gas at a rest stop and it had the decal on the gas tank. That was the first time I really took notice and my first thought was, "Cheap. Why did you do that Triumph? Sorry Triumph, but only a proper tank badge will do!!
But the guy loves his bike so who am I to judge?
Another Triumph on the road is all that matters.
 
OK, so here are pics of two of the new models, taken on Saturday.

Firstly a matte khaki Tiger 800XC. It looked a bit dull and undistinguished to my eyes.

Cruisers are not my thing, but the matte graphite Thunderbird Storm looked integrated, striking and quite menacing in my view. I was very impressed!

im a big fan of matt finnish ..its easy to keep clean ,you dont have to polish it just wipe it down and your ready to go.
it it allso very easy to touch up scratches and is (if done right ) impossible to see touch ups ! it gets a TUP from me .
 
I agree with Rocky; the Bonneville is supposed to have tank badges. I liked the purple on the Bonneville back in the day; I thought it looked great. I also like the yellow on the triples. I know someone with a yellow Speed Four and it looks really great.
