Hi All
Im still on the hunt for a nice STR and have come across a 2010 model which is bright orange not the Matt orange that I have seen quite a few of

Could someone please confirm if the bright orange that I have seen is a triumph spec colour or if you guys think it is more than likely resprayed?

Any help as alwas greatfully received
Thanks in advance
Aidy

Yes!!

More than likely a respray- it's defo not a spec colour.....but could have been done with something else from the Triumph range....think Triumph charges around 500 quid for that, but could be more.

Got a link?

The bright orange is likely to be the same colour as my Speed Triple of 2010.

I know Staffordshire Triumph had a few new bikes made up in that colour at some point.

theres the link

They're not the best photos I've ever seen! Maybe contact the seller and ask him to send you some better photos? You could also ask him about the paint!

Photo 3 shows the colour in the best light and that's a Triumph colour if my memory serves me right.

Can anyone offer any advise on what its worth
as I am interested but dont want to pay too much ;-)

As Andy suggested just ask him if its been resprayed and if so why.

I would have said that's getting close to the maximum you would want to pay for that bike.

You can get Triumph dealer bikes for not much more money that will come with a warranty.

Agree with Duke. If dealer bikes are similar money I would go that route personally.

Thanks guys
