With the current Triumph news, it seems like they're getting close to a reveal maybe. Not that they're here looking for design advice but just kicking the idea around. I'm going dark green. Something different.

You?

Dark green seems to be the popular choice. What about frame and rim colors ? Chrome frame with black or gold rims ?

I love that color combo/aesthetic. I want to build a guitar in a slightly different shade of green (cadillac green, to be exact), ivory binding, gold hardware, and making a pickguard out of mahogany.

ML said that's not happening. 

"That rumor has come and gone, no bike at ATL. There was talk of us checking out the new facility that's less than an hour south of there but it's not quite show-ready yet.

The latest rumor I heard is their semi might be at Salt Lake Supercross or the Pro Motocross opener..."

I can’t decide what colour it should be, but I can absolutely say please God, pleeeeaaaassse don’t make it black!

Any colour is better than black.

British racing green doesn’t seem very attractive to the modern young riders to me.

I'm a modern young rider and I like it, but I'm also really weird.

Some will. 
KTM have done such a great job of marketing, everything single item is orange… and riders like the orange hat, t-shirt, jetting, toaster, you name it, it’s available in orange. Orange is instantly recognisable as a KTM connection. Similarly, Kawasaki Green makes the same statement. Moreso than what blue does for Yamaha, Red, Honda, etc etc etc..

Triumph should follow this lead in branding, and I just can’t imagine kids and teenagers running around in British racing green caps and t-shirts.

Plenty of kids and teenagers supporting Aston Martin at F1 races.

Can Aston Martin really give Alonso a quick car for F1 2023?

That would actually look super nice. Dark green with beige graphics and brown leather seat. 😍

I agree with you on the surface but colors and stuff like that is secondary or even tertiary to brand allegiance. I think you'd see people in purple gear or riding brown bikes if Eli was winning in/on that setup. Look how the silly full face sunglasses are catching on. That's totally a motorsports/sports thing. 

I'm not too cool to admit that I built a replica set of Tomac gear from detroit 2022 because he looked so good in it that night. Logos and all. and I paid for it myself lol.
