Is your Nomad the color you wanted?
I like the Green/Green machines, but they werent an option in '07. Had Blue/silver been available in 07 I would have gotten that combo I think. I am happy though with Lucilles Candy Cardinal Red/Titanium; at least for now. Might buy her a flame job someday.

I originally started out looking at a leftover '07 Silver/Black, which looked beautiful to me. Then I saw an all-black '08 and I was hooked. It was then that I also noticed the black is metallic on the '08. Sold!
Mmmmmmmmm, black!!! May not be the fastest...but it just might be the sexiest!! ;) ;) |

If I bought new, (I got my bike in 2008) I would have gotten a blue/silver. But decided to go with used. I knew I didn't want black (no offense against black, just not my color). The 99 green/green is a beauty, especially since I was coming off a Forest Green Concours. But the bike that I finally ended up getting was the red/silver. Even though it wasn't my first color choice, I'm happy with it.
Still, I'm hoping that when I get to see the 2009 Nomad at the DC Show in January, I'll hate it, or the price will be out of my range so I won't be kicking myself. There's no way I can get another bike for quite a while. |

I wanted the Blue & Silver back in '05, and took 3 months to find one. Ended up being at the closest dealership to me . The only thing I might Change in the future, would probably be switching from the "ocean metallic blue" to the "cobalt metallic blue" (I just love that color) ;)

I have the green & silver, and I HATE it. Dunno why I get so my compliments on it. To me, the colors don't match at all.
All black would've been my first choice. I've even thought about watching ebay for tins and swapping them all over time. Probably not though. I'll either get really ballsy and paint it pearl white myself or trade it for a black Voyager once it's paid off.

When I realized that looking for the right color was seriously delaying my Nomad purchase, I decided that I'd take the next good deal I could find and live with whatever color.
the next bike I found was the best color (see sig). |

I have the Red/Titanium, that is the color that I liked best out of the 2007 colors. The 2008 Red/Black is really an eye catcher, if they had that in 2007 when I bought mine I would have gone with that color.

Is your Nomad the color you wanted?
Like some of you I was impatient when I was suddenly able to make a purchase of another bike, having been without one for about 4-5 yrs.. I rushed right out to my local Kawasaki dealer to see what was available in June of 07. I had a good idea that the Nomad was my choice of bikes. The only thing they had left in their store was one silver and gray '07 and an all black '06. The salesman was anxious to sell the '06 and would give me a good deal on it. I really liked the black with the chrome shining brightly. No offense to the silver and gray Nomad owners but there wasn't a choice for me. Save a few bucks and have that all black beauty. ....or have a one yr. newer silver and blk.?????I took the black without much thinking. I have never been unhappy with my choice and my bike can't be picked out for the yr. it is by the colour.I am thinking of doing some DEEP flames added on the tank, frt. fender, and the sides of the bags. Along with maybe some off the sides of the trunk.But that'll be in time.

Im really happy with my red/black combo, when I was looking for a bike the colour wasn't my top priority, but Im glad I stumbled across the bike I have. Its my favorite colour scheme on the Nomads.

I was able to find a great deal on an 08'. The color had no bearing on the purchase. I would have bought the bike in any color(s) and would have been my favorite. I do think, though, if I would have purchased new from a dealer, I would have picked the same colors.

Wanted a Black in '07 and got a Black...looking back it was a really intellegent decision as the fairing cost less to paint and there are many accessories that are easier to match with Black. Finally, it will be a good base for custom paint in the future.
If I buy another, it would be tough to pass up a stock pearl white, but solid colors only please for me. |
