I think I've decided on the color i'm painting my bike...   or orange with some pearl in it  ok, I haven't decided but its one of these.. I really like that green edited by misato on November 05, 2003 | ||

Yeah - the Guzzi lime green is very classy - not much of a fan of the "nuclear" colors of the Speed however | ||

Another factory paint that needs to be seen up close and personal in good sunlight to get the full mind-altering effect....  DAve (Brian, still waitin' on that pic of your new ride!) | ||

Hey Dave, Brian popped the cherry on the Tiger sunday. He was showing off and put her down in a gravel parking lot. Nothing bad just a few scratches. Eric  | ||

I think the Green is very cool. Might look nice to if you powder coated your wheels black.. | ||

took a few hours online to find the formula for that damn speed triple green (same as the tiger?). local dupont shops have no codes for bikes.. I might tweak it a little. I'm gonna do it in the next few months.. got the tail section, the finishing is CRAP, sanding scratches everywhere, little pits and whatnot.. typical glass work I'm sure. | ||

Wow, that orange sled looks VERY nice... I don't care about the color, just the curves and all, very well done to whoever... | ||

Did you get the seat cowl fron American Sport Bike ? | ||
| Dave |
Yeah Eric I heard...sucks. My Dad was there (yellow Blast) and said it is a real nice looking Tiger. Shit happens. I fell in love with the green on a Speed Triple back around '00. May have been a '99 model. I could not get "praying mantis" out of my mind. But I dunno if the Tiger and Speed Triple are the same color. DAve | ||

As far as that goes: The green on a Honda (car) Del Sol is pretty cool too. I like all of those greens. If I were ever to repaint my bike it would be one of those colors of green. If you have the time, intrest and $$$, you might want to powder coat the engine (see orange bike above) and wheels. http://t595.net/mb/album/album.asp?album=1437&pg=1&img=9269 | ||

I'm not really a fan of the variations of green myself but I did see one of the Speed Triples in green the other day and it did look good... Kevin | ||

How about this green it is on my friends custom  | ||
| Misato |
yeah, I like that I think I'm gonna do the speed triple color. just add a little more flake or something so its not EXACTLY the same... | ||
| Bads1 |
Misato there actually alot of metallic in the green paint on the above bike.One thing I can say is in a straight line that frick'n thing is fast.128 ci of badness. | ||

How do you insure a "custom" anyway? | ||
| Xb12r |
not easy,had insurance for 2years then just droped me,I called them and they said they could no longer insure the bike for its value,$30,0000 | ||

Theres an old bikers tail that says, green Harleys are bad luck. don't know if this would affect Buells as well, better not take any chances! | ||
| Crusty |
I had an Amazon Green S3-T that I put 60,000 miles on. Where's the bad luck there? | ||
| Court |
I have an Amazon Green 1995 S-2 and LOVE it! Bad luck?.....I don't think so.  | ||
| Easyflier |
I mentioned that to somebody the other night Bob and they had no idea what I was talking about. When I grew up green motorcycles were unlucky, I think it trickled over from auto racing. I guess we're more advanced and less superstitious now. | ||
| Steelshoe |
Just throwing in a little nostalgia, I'm not superstitious either, or maybe you green buell owners are proving buells ain't Harleys! |
