Nomad colors that you would like to see

[nomadwest]

I really like the color of my nad but it seems like Kawasaki is afraid to get a little bold with it's paint colors. Besides the awesome solid black all other colors are two toned. I think mine would look better all Candy cardinal red. How about all illusion blue or pearl purple or maybe a nice bright lime green. One of the members on here painted his Nomad, corvette yellow which looks very striking. Dave

I agree Dave. Maybe MaKaw will wake up before I'm ready for my next bike. Solid Candy Cardinal Red would look great. Some of our bretheren claim their color bikes are the fastest (and we could probably never convince them otherwise), but ours are definitely the hottest rides on the road.

Or maybe a close 2nd! http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

+1.

Perhaps some "custom" options (like HD and Honda have) such as: Old Skool flat black, flame jobs (ghost flames and tradional style), candy and pearl paints; maybe some yellows and oranges as mentioned previously also.

Kawi has done an admirable job thus far in staying "middle of the road" for the classic colors and design of this style bike. Now, it's time for them to branch out a bit and keep in tune with what the market niche is looking for and interested in. Probably wouldn't hurt sales of the bike either, IMHO. Thankfully, they don't release the bike in one color/yr as they do with the Concourse.

For now, all black suits me just fine as it is what I've always wanted. Plus, it's the fastest color as we all know... ;)

So how do we contact Kawi and drop a subtle hint about branching out with their color schemes???

The 99 green wasn't bad , but you would think that a company as big as Kawasaki would have a little more imagination. I'd like to see candy apple or go back to the beige or a teal . Just give us a choice. Yeah, black is cool, but a pain in the a$$ to keep clean.

[ponch]

I think the 1999 colors were among the best, Green/Green and red/red. The 2002 black/red was nice and the 2004 blue/silver was nice too, but the green/green is a pretty bike. http://www.rolfshemsida.se/blandade%20bilder/ready14.jpg

A V2K, but it still looks nice.

How about the red on the 1999 Drifter? That Indian blood red. That might be cool.

I've always been a black & chrome kinda guy when it came to bike colors, but I'm starting to really like red. I agree tho.....Kawa needs to get a little more open minded about colors and make a Nomad with a solid red, maroon, or purple instead of two-tone.

Now, if Kawa made a solid red or promigranite Nomad with all the accessories.....Batwing fairing, electronics, trunk, etc.....I'd buy one right now.

promigranite ??????????????? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I'd like to see a real pretty shade of metalic pearl purple. But not a solid color it would have to be two tone. Either with black or white or even the silver.
Mine will look like that when I decide to get it painted.

Put me in the boring conservative camp. I love the two tones, and have never seen a solid color Nomad that looked as good as the two tones.

I liked my 99 red two tone, but I know that the green/green 99 probably gets talked about the most over the years. I had the choice of either, went with the red.

I also had a black and silver, and now have a green and silver. Loved the black and silver, not as hot on the green and silver, wish it was black and silver.

Here's a picture of a Camaro that I owned and had painted. No flames and fancy candie colors, just about my taste in bikes too.

I have a Kawasaki Cruiser Accessories catalog that lists a number of custom tanks and fenders. They even have some available in a base coat that are ready to paint however you wish .

[naugaman]

I think an all white one would be good. I saw a cream and light brown one for sale on ebay and thought that would be a good color to have. The darks are great but does take more time to clean up. I also agree with Trip, if a Nomad came out with all the extras, I would trade up tomorrow.

[dano]

Thanks Dave. Yeah, I'm kinda partial to the yellow. Loved the Yellow Gold Wings. I think a solid White Nomad would look great too.
Ride safe,

The prmoigranite color I refer to topcat is the red color like what lw and Nomadwest have. I call it promigranite, but Kawa calls it something else...it's kind of a pinker red, not a red, red. I like the color tho.

Love that Camaro, Dan. When I was in high school, I would have given my left and right nut for a 1969 Chevell SS 396 in that same color scheme.

[ponch]

I always wanted a 1970 4-4-2 W-30. You can buy a condo for what they want for them now.

As I have mentioned before... Pearl White.
Nice 69 Camaro. I just love the clean lines of older cars.

[dantama]

When I sold the camaro I didn't need to, just got bored. Thought that I could get another one any time. Now it would cost what my first house cost. Didn't count on that.

It was supposed to be hugger orange, I liked blue and painted it blue.

Like Trip, I'm partial to 60's Muscle cars. I remember when I was 5 years old my neighbor had a 1970 SS Chevelle. Even at five I knew it was a cool car.

I see rflnomad has a 65 GTO, I had a 1968 GTO that was nearly flawless. Would kind of like to get that one back too.

Somebody needs to start a muscle car thread, this is starting to be a thread hijack. I was meaning to point out that I like bikes about the way I like cars. Pretty close to stock looking, but in a nice color.

My Camaro and GTO were completely stock. No traction bars or shackles, no fake hood scoops, etc. I like them pretty conservative in that regard, and I love the two tone nomads. Reminds me of 50's cars and Harley paint from the era.

How about hot pink with some purple flames and a personalized plate that says "cha cha"

[fish]

My wife said bright metalic green. although she likes my dark green truck. Did I mention she likes green?

Red/Red(Purple) The first and still the best!!

A dealer near me had one with 2600 miles on the Odometer. If you can believe it, the guy traded it on a Harley. Obviously I didn't buy it, but it was a nice bike. I also had a friend that bought one new and put 100K miles on it and traded it for a Harley. The only issue with the 1999 is the POG. His went at 36K, covered by mama Kaw.

I would like to see a two tone pumpkin/eggshell or maybe a mauve/taupe combo

[Todd]

Yer scarin' me Wolfman!!!!!

sorry I slipped. I already got my man card taken away once. I promise I'll be more carefull.
It was all that talk about the promigranite that got my creative juices flowing.

(say your wife suggested those colors!!)

besides my wife suggested those colors anyway.

[donoller]

come on guys the goldwing crowd is mad because they dont get two tone come here and you want solid colors go figure huh

[dogdoc]

An Oyster pearl white like on the caddy Escaldes, etc, all one color.

[rcashell]

A good Fightin'Texas Aggie Maroon and White would be nice

Whoop!!!

[ds06nomad]

A good Fightin'Texas Aggie Maroon and White would be nice

so long as it looks better than the '08 Suzuki boulevard red/white scheme. have you seen it??? E-gads, it looks like a candy-striper bike and WAY gay (... not that there's anything wrong with that"!)

[Todd]

I'm with you Doc. I am partial to Solid Black and White on motorcycles. I think a pearl would be outstanding...Have a friend with a Road King that is Pearl like that and the color looks really nice.

Of course, Black is just a little faster http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Local guy here has a purple bike that has some really cool paint. It has flames of various shades of purple and deep orange that change with the intensity of the light and your viewing angle. Most beautiful paint job I have ever seen on a bike. That paint on a Nomad would be awesome.

[bobzinger]

If I ever get the bucks I'd like an Orange and Cream two-tone Nomad. Maybe some ghost flames in the cream.

[flightdoc]

I always thought that "blue angels" blue with yellow acsents would be very pretty.

[jayc]

They came out with a Kaw 2000 Special (I believe). Flat black with red flames. Like the look and have been thinking about having mine painted the same.
