We have been going back-and-forth on this bike for a few years now. Never really truly knowing where the end destination is.
I feel that it’s in a great place and it looks amazing running an original color from the Thruxton R. But there is something in me that feels like just settling on using a factory color isn’t enough.
I am still unsure if continuing with the fully Silver Ice color is the best bet, or mixing the chrome fuel tank with Silver everything else. If the chrome tank goes on., I will use an identical tank badge to what is on all the Silver Ice fuel tank, but a red badge rather than gold. It could look great.
The third alternative is to paint it an entirely different color like a vibrant blue. I have also mocked that up with the aid of AI.
If this were your bike and there were the same three paths:
- Stay fully Silver Ice
- Use the chrome fuel tank with Silver Ice fender, fairing and cowl AND change the tank badge to a red version of what is currently on the silver fuel tank.
- Paint it all BMW Atlantis Blue
What would you do?
Only three available paths, choose one.
