I've never really like the lighter blues on bikes, cars or trucks but that first photo has a certain look to it that I really like. The other two are ok but don't really do anything for me.
 
Blue is my favourite colour, but not the baby blue on any vehicle like in the first picture.
I could easily live with the darker blue, but the blue front fender and the white rear fender seems odd to me.
But I guess it's supposed to flow from blue to white.(?)
 
Sorry, but I don't like the "blacked out" look on any vehicle and especially on a motorcycle; they might as well just put a big piece of black tar paper over everything but the tank. Black on an engine is traditionally a sign of gross neglect resulting from a complete lack of any pride in ownership. Let oil, grease, grime, brake dust and neglect color it black naturally if you want a black engine and transmission. Maybe the guys who like black want their bike to only look dirty and neglected?
 
The only thing that turns me off a little is the absence of tank badges.
The decals or painted on "Triumph" just seems like something is missing from the gas tank.
Hmmm, but now that I think about it, I don't care much for the blacked out engines either.
I like chrome, sparkle and glitz :D
 
good lookin bikes for sure! looks wise my long gone 70 bonnie T120R was tops in my books, but the vibes it put out are not suited to my "mature" body these days. my 2012 is amazingly smooth + with the 17" wheels handling is great

I like the black look, and my bike is never neglected, but we all have our views and I respect that.
