Did BMW get it wrong with the 2007 tri-colour?

Postby Silverado_au on Sat Jul 14, 2007 4:08 am

I was looking side on at my '07 today and decided it would look much better if the under-seat panel was black rather than blue. So I photoshopped it to see what it would look like. See below:

I think that with the black panel under the seat, the blue flash running from the fairing and up onto the tank much more is much more effective.

Instead of having the frame and swingarm all black, I think it could look good if it was silver...!!?? :shock:
Maybe...maybe not???

Very nice Silverado.

Don't think they got it wrong but ……..you certainly have me thinking here. I like the black rear.

Not as skillful as you with photo shop but it will illustrate the general idea. Like the back foot peg bracket and the heel protector black as well.

Personally I think it would look good silver, IMHO

Ah, no it is perfect just like it is. Really, the bike blows my mind and when I walk up to it at night when it is sitting under a street light the blue in the back just looks plain old time cool.
