Pink and black Triumph Sprint?? YES?NO?

[trump-lady]

Ok so I put my bike down up north http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=44603 and I dont really like the red anyways. Ive come from USA and wear baby blue and pink leathers......Im thinking of painting my bike black with a pink tank or some kind of black/pink variation. Now I know that everyone here wears BLACK and for those women who dont have perfect anerexic bodies we look like men on bikes or dykes on bikes. Im a lady and wanna look like one and Im tired of everyone thinking im riding bitch on some mans bike. Ive had the bike only 3 weeks done 4000 ks on her and love it and dont see a change in bikes for me for quite a while.

Anyways what do you all think....
Is it a discrace to triumphs name?
If you saw it on the side of the road what would you think?
Would you ride bitch with me hehehehehe?

[Chisanga]

It's your bike so do it, for many people their bikes are statement of who they are so this seems like a very good way of making it uniquely you :) Perhaps when you flick it on you might want to think about repainting it as a pink bike may severely limit the type of person wishing to buy it :)

Good luck and post up some pictures when you are done.

P.S. You can buy pink helmets as well too you know :p

Pink? Don't do it unless you go the whole hog (wheels etc) and are prepared to own it the rest of your life...

Many other choices but pink? Um - not really very ladylike is it?

Triumphs racing colours were light blue / white so that could be an appealing choice.

[trump-lady]

tRUE TRUE....But i dont want it to be an eyesore. Just enough that when you get close you just KNOW its a ladies bike. Thats why I was thinking just the tank...and the rest black. Hmmmm Baby blue would work too....I cant play with colors to much with the red it is right now. So to do it Id have to redo the whole bike.... I figured it would be easy to repaint just the tank if I ever sold her..... but again the whole bike would have to be painted cause what the hell goes with red!

[TonyB]

So I guess THIS (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=53125&d=1170916743) would be your hero?:innocent:

Edit: waaaaaiiiit a second- your riding gear and hers look alarmingly similar!

[imdying]

Pink? Don't do it unless you go the whole hog (wheels etc) and are prepared to own it the rest of your life...Awww I don't know... the YZF750s had a splash of pink, aren't weren't totally puke to look at. Doesn't actually have to hot pink either, does it?

Pink was good enough for John Britten.

Yeah!!! :whocares: what people think ITS MY BIKE! Actually some one sent me a pic of their red and black paint job. Theres a few variations out there I havent even thought of......... I still wanna know if anyone would ride bitch on my pink bike hehehehehehe

[imdying]

Pink was good enough for John Britten.Yeah, but it might've been those pink bits that gave him teh c@nc3r!!! :bye:

[James Deuce]

Triumph have a colour on their books called: "Nuclear Pink".

It was one of the colours for the previous model Speed Triple and it looks awesome in real life. See if you can get the Triumph Colour charts and then you'll have a Sprint in a unique, but nonetheless factory colour.

only if i could still wear my yellow and black leathers:scooter:

[Paul in NZ]

I'd go the basic little black bike route and accessorise to add the feminine touch. Pink fluffy seat covers, mount a compact where a radar detector would go, a big glove box full of assort sunglasses you don't wear anymore and nearly finished lipsticks, old parking tickets you have not paid - you know...

Nuclear Pink definitely has a better ring to it than "British Racing Pink".

Hmmm. A pink Sprint..... heavily metalliced pink would go, I think.

Found one!

[James Deuce]

Cool! They've kept it in the current line up.

The photo gives an idea, but in person it looks brilliant! Nearly as good as that green does!

[mstriumph]

i prefer the green - but then, i'm not so keen on pink anyway

- anyone got a piccy of PinkHogGirl's bike? THAT's [sort of] pink - certainly couldn't be mistaken for a blokes bike anyway? :scooter:

[SDU]

You wouldn't be the only one with a pink bike around here!

Oh what a gayly painted bike! But not so much pink as an exquisite mauve.

[Paul in NZ]

As long as it matches your nail polish and lip gloss any colour will do..

[mstriumph]

Paul

NOBODY matches their nail colour to their lipgloss anymore - where ya BEEN??!

I like it....I like it......I have full fairings so thats kinda what i was thinking but then black fairings.....hmmmmmmmmm

[Skunk]

If you post a pic of your bike I think you'll have all the Photoshop 'experts' giving it the once over with new colour schemes.

[trump-lady]

[Skunk]

Pink and black.

[James Deuce]

That looks brilliant Skunk, you've missed your trade.

Now try it on the previous model because that's the one she has ;)

[Mental Trousers]

Get rid of the leathers. Pink is the fat colour.

[MyGSXF]

Pink and black.

That looks awesome Skunk!!! good job!! :Punk:

Go girl, i think it sounds great. Is about expressing yourself and being individual which is what Triumph is all about anyway. If i saw it on the side of the road i would think "CHOICE" and would ride bitch!

[ravenfeeder]

Pink and black.
Your example looks excellent Skunk ! - there you go that says it all ;)

Pink and black.

Nithe job, but I liked it better all in pink, perthonally.

Can't be F'd finding a pic. Too lazy. Someone else can and I'll do it again.

awesome job skunk Thanks so much for doing that. It really puts things in perspective when you see it visually. Im sure it took you a while and its appreciated.............

[crazybigal]

Hell yeah!!! do it for sure! but dont just go pink.
come up with somfing cool, maybe silver or white detailing.

[Skunk]

Nah, that one was a piece of cake. Took longer to post it than do it.

[NighthawkNZ]

as every one else has said, its your bike, but think of resale value unless you want to keep it till the end of time.

[Macktheknife]

Go for it girl, paint it whatever makes you happy, electric lime and nuclear pink? sunburst orange with lime and pink detailing? Jade green with lightning patterns of silver and white?
Just do what moves you, you can always repaint it before selling it if you have to.

[trump-lady]

Im taking her tomorrow to see if it can be done....think i will go all pink. I dont see myself selling her. Im very happy and I like that shes a sport bike but a tourer too. Me coming off was user error and inexperience.....which Im working on. I have learnt so much since riding NZ roads (very diff from states)

1. Kneck warmers are the bomb.
2. Marino wool tops are great cause the weather changes here. Columbian ski clothing is also good.
3. Clear classes are wonderful enabling you to lift the visor and smell the coastal seas.
4. Dont wait to hear the gravel "lift your visor to see it"
5. Use a bum bag.....you wont lose your keys
6. Pannier bags look like crap but you wont cause youve got 10 changes of clothes.
7. Pannier bags will save your leg if you come off.
8. Newzealand has roadworks EVERYWHERE.
9. Riding with NZ Sports Forum guys to Akoroa will make you want to do wheelies.
10. Riding with NZ Sport Bike Forum guys will make you realize your slow and have alot to learn.
11. You cant ride a sports bike like a Harley.
12. Cages can be assholes internationally.

liked the 1st one you did.........heres another pic if you get bored :)

woops here

[Skunk]

That's not the same model as yours is it?

[trump-lady]

Just wanted to let you all know. The bike has been painted nuclear red and from the pics I have looks great. Job ended up costing me a fortune but it looks great. It arrives to me in Auckland weds night and I guess Im the only person in New Zealand to own a pink bike! Pictures will be posted asap.........

[scumdog]

Tanya - it's YOUR bike.

Do what makes you happy. :yes:

Pink was good enough for John Britten.

I agree with him - YOU own it, do what you want with it.

Oh, a few tassles on the jacket are bound to help too.

NOPE, you are not the only one....
You should meet PinkHogGirl, now that is a PINK bike.
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=3980
There is a party at her place this weekend, so that should be a blast, you should come and meet the crew.

[R1madness]

You will have no trouble selling the bike when you are finished with it. :yes: There are lots of "lady" riders out there looking for bikes like that. Just make sure the painter sprays the inside of the bodywork as well. It gives it that "factory finish" that a lot of repaints miss.
Nice to see someone not afraid to personalise their bike. I believe that sport bikes have been winning the custom bike shows in the USA for a while now.
Nice one :Punk:

[slowpoke]

Cool, it's great to see someone painting their bike in something other than the boring, often shite, factory colour scheme.

[trump-lady]

ok...so Im the only one with a pink sportsbike??

I dunno why people dont do more to their sportbikes like they do cruisers. Id eventually like to get the cartoon of storm (X men) on the tank with hair coming down the fairrings........

Its nuclear red but has pink pearl through it....im so excited to see it....I will take pics tomorrow and post tomorrow night :)

[Cajun]

awsome trump-lady

be good to see what the bike looks like in those pics
