Is your Nomad the color you wanted?

Of the stock color combinations, is yours the color you most wanted?
And if not, what stock color do you wish it was.

Mine is green and silver. I could have had black too, but I like the two tone bikes. But those two were the choices on the last year that I bought a new Nomad.

I really liked the look of my 05 black and silver.

In 99 I had the choice of the green/green, or the red/maroon. I too the red one. Now after seeing the green/green ones on this board, I might have taken the green one back then.

So, do you have your favorite color combo, and if not, what one do you wish it was?

I have the bike colors that I've always wanted. I actually waited for about 4 years to get a new bike because I wanted a red & black one. My Honda VTX was blue, and I really liked it, but if there were would have been a red one available when I bought that I would have taken it. When I saw the colors available on the Nomads last year, it caught my eye, and the research that I read backed up that it was a great bike. So, it was goodbye VTX, hello red & black Nomad! One of the best choices I've ever made!

Purple was the color I first saw a Nomad in. I was looking for another bike at the time, but only had a general idea what I wanted.

When I saw the Nomad, it seemed perfect. I bought it right there and then. I really knew nothing at all about Nomads, but later did research and discovered it was more suited to my needs than I first imagined.

I like the color, it's somewhat rare, and looks great w/ the extras and chrome. Green on Green would have been my pick if I had a selection to choose from. Between the two, I don't know that I have a favorite.

I bought the black and red one. I really wanted a 2 tone, and the Black and Red was what I really wanted. I bought it a year earlier than I was planning as I was waiting to see the 2009, once I saw them come out, I went and bought a 2008. There was only one dealer within in 75 miles of my house that had 1 Nomad put out the day before. I went in 15 min before closing. A sales rep who was standing around talking asked how could he help me before they closed. I asked do you have a Nomad he pointed to the Black and Red one and I told told him where is the application. Done 30 minuets later.

I wanted full black, but in 2005, Kawa only made black and silver. I'm not complaining tho.

I bought Black and Silver. It doesen't matter what color you buy, there is going to be a ton of them and I wanted something different.
Sooooooo, now I have the color I want I had it painted. It is now black where it was black but purple where it was silver. They fade into each other. There is real fire flames in blue and white and custom lettering on the tank instead of the badges. I can't wait till I can get it out in the spring to show you guys how good it looks.

Red and titanium is what I have. Like the green/green and looked at a used one just before a wreck in 06. A year later I bought the 07. Always seem to end up with red. Previous bike (yamaha) was same color combo. I didn't tell my wife I had traded and since we were going somewhere that evening, I made sure she went out the door first so I could see her reaction.
She started down the walkway and slowed to a stop. First she asked when I got the bags and then she hit me for stringing her along.

Of stock colors; I like my black (bronze) Nomad.

If I had a preference though, it would be a white Nomad.

I have a 2006 Green/Silver two tone. I bought it used so didn't really have a choice. In any color combination they look great!

I bought mine used. When I was considering, and then wanting, a Nomad, I really liked two color combinations: the green on green (1999), and the one I got (2003). So, I like and wanted the one I got.

That's a big 10-4. The hard bags were the first thing that caught my eye and then all the reviews and then once I sat on one I was sold.

As far as colour went, I really liked the Black, but my Suzuki is already black and all my previous bikes were black. Black is beautiful but scratches and swirls show up easily. So I decided to go with the Blue and silver and I'm very happy with it. But every once in awhile I still wonder if I should have got Black. :-/

Other colours may be faster, but the Blue and silver is the smoooothest. ;)

TC I can't wait to see your new paint job either. I thought I saw a glimpse of it in another thread.

I went to the dealer with every intention to buy a Red and Titanium, however they didnt have one,could have got one later in the day but being impatient as I am I could not wait , so I got a Black one it wasnt my fault that Black one kept calling my name. I still would prefer it to be White and that may happen in the near future.
