New Vaquero color changes - Page 2

Monkeyman · 10-12-2011, 02:16 AM

Didn't know they were just fillers. Thought it was all fender. Hmmm.....perhaps I'll stick with what I got. :)

Guess I'm all alone on this one. I like it. I like the colors and the execution isn't terrible (for a factory paint job). It's not the roaring toyz custom paint job, but that would cost big bucks to have done professionally. This one's just a mass produced factory quicky. I'd prefer this green and black to the red or the all black (sorry, but all black has been done to death and back). It's nice to see something different once in a while.

Someone said they didn't care for the Vaquero styling. I like the heck out of it. I'd buy one if they didn't cost so much. I paid $3900 for mine. I could buy 4 of mine for the price of one new Vaquero. Too rich for my blood.

I told my wife the reason I had to get a 2011 was the 2012 colors could change to something I may not like. I had no idea how true that would be.

Doesn't suit MY sophisticated tastes...!

Or hand painted?

I like the blue better than the green or black, but red is best, so far. Purple might be cool.

My mom always told me "if you can't say anything nice....."

I am sure he would refuse it if it was given to him...

I agree with most... I like the concept, but it wasn't thought through enough. I don't like the way the bags were painted. They should have finished the whole bag and not just the doors. It looks like they were trying to mimic Harley's bagger paint job. It looks cheap to me.

With that being said, I took a look at the new Nomad paint schemes too. I don't like those either. They look cheap to me.

There's always the blue, which I like second to red. Now if they would only put ABS in it for the US.

I usually don't like green but I think the look is great! I think the line of gray down the center of the paint job gives buyers a chance to go with a fresh new look. The Blue looks great too.

In a few years, I wouldn't mind picking up a used Vaquero with the new color.

blackdogbrian · 10-17-2011, 09:42 PM

I like it..... E for Effort.
I love the roaring toys one... and this is a nice attempt to emulate wihtout copying.
I don't care for the split down the middle of the saddlebag, but I kinda like the green two tone attempt...

chuckster131 · 10-18-2011, 05:52 AM

I see they must have seen my Nomad bags, as the color break lots similar to how my bags are done.
