Re: Silver ST

Bill:

I'm just kidding you about the difference.  If you compare a Trophy in the
Platinum (silver looking) color and a Daytona in the Aluminium Silver color
they are close but there are subtle difference.  The Platinum looks "warmer"
to the "brighter" Aluminium Silver.  A friend and riding buddy of mine,
Willie Laman (who works at the local Triumph dealership--Joe Harrison Motor
Sports), painted his Trophy in the Aluminium Silver and it looks really
nice.

P.S.  Tornado Red adds somewhere about 10 to 20 mph in the "When I rode the
Dragon last year, I was doing about ____ in those twisties.  Man, you should
have seen me" stories.    Of course, it's all true.
