Fact.

Is that what the "TT" stands for on the TT 250?

BTW, what does the TT stand for?

Many of the "orangy" ones faded badly in a short time. I saw the more brass looking ones in the production photo and if that color is correct, I'm hoping that they've put a better, longer lasting finish on them so they don't fade as quickly as the older ones.

the production ones are gold, the photo of the copper bike with orange forks is from one of the prototypes

SOO I might have purchased a few things specifically for this bike... What about you all?

That's going to look great!
For Mrs. 2LZ white TT250 I ordered white grips, white bar pad, white gloves and a black and white helmet.

You are wise to be kind to Mrs. 2LZ.

That woman is a 'keeper.'

TT stands for tourist trophy. Kicking around on the Internet reveals it originally started in 1907 as a form of motorcycle racing. I knew it as a nomenclature for a limited run of Triumph Bonnevilles designed strictly for racing (one I wanted dearly back in the day). More info on the history is here:

The blog photo to which you refer is a PhotoShopped affair that has the gold color of the prototype bikes. The production bikes will have the more subdued gold-anodizing like the new 2016 RX3s and the RC3s have. I didn't care much for the prototype gold. The lighter gold anodizing looks much better, IMO.

That being said, I am probably going to have my fork uppers powder coated black. My TT250 will be black, at least for a little while. I've played around a bit in Photoshop to see what a mostly black TT would look like, and I like it...

Black bikes are usually the fastest ones (after orange, of course, but orange isn't an option on the TT). Having said that, though, I'm going to spend the $0.37 it will take to buy a spare set of bodywork and have it painted so my bike will match my watch...

You might think I'm kidding about the colors and the custom paint, but I am not. I was kidding about the $0.37 for the body work, so don't call the plant and ask for that price. It's actually a little more.
