I did find the Orange combo nice but this bike was brand-new (albeit was in the showroom for 3 weeks) and around the price of a second-hand Tigerstriper with 10k on the clock.... ;)

I'd have either TBH :)

I'm up at the bike show in Birmingham tomorrow and I hope I don't like the black/silver in life as much as I do in that pic, or it could be a very expensive day out! [my current Rox is orange]

I prefer the orange one; looks more agressive.
And IMHO they should at least have kept the Paralever-triangle in blue.

Well, that saved me several grand! Been to the bike show today and had an argument with the BM people about the existence of the black/silver one. They said it doesn't [3 different staff members] and I said I'd seen pictures! I can only assume that they decided not to market it in the UK, as the lime and orange ones sold so badly. It's still strange they'd not heard of it though, particularly as you can spec it up on the BM web-site. :?:

Funny; try the Virtual Centre at http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk, and you'll find out the Rockster doesn't exist at all :P
When you do the same at the dutch BMW-site (http://www.bmw-motorrad.nl), you can choose between "citrus metallic/ schwarz matt", "orange metallic/ schwarz matt" and "slate dark metallic matt".
But when you download the Rockster-brochure, the only color available right now, is "slate dark metallic matt"
