Ha! . This was just prior to shipping the 'bike from the UK to Los Angeles for a three week tour (Coast, Redwoods, inland, volcanic park, Grand Canyon, etc.). With two of us, I needed ALL the luggage space I could get!

Two more. I'd look at Triumphs and other bikes for paint schemes too.

That looks like a ride that will take care of you while touring - and in style!

Beautiful blue Beemer

Gorgeous!!

Aubergine is actually a vegetable. A turnip I think.

the 67 Bonneville T-120 was Aubergine and white. The most beautiful of the Bonnies IMO.

As an aside, the 'company colour' of the TVRs I owned, was purple.

TVRs are anything but girlie!!

This was mine in Grigio Alloy Pearl (Ferrari colour), sadly sold now.

You're right, Ferret, it is a vegetable. Not a turnip, but a smaller, teardrop-shaped veggie... It's an ingredient of ratatouille.

I like these colours. Was there ever a Honda released in this colour scheme?



I know the Triumph TSX was similar colours

Look at this one.
