I Have a 74TXA Cinnamon Brown. Not the original color though.

Come across an original paint Cinnamon Brown 74TXA, the paint on top of the tank has some fading but this is the best one i have seen a pic of.

Every one has there favorite color scheme, and i am no different but i have found my preference has changed from bike to bike the more i look at the different models over time.

I have to much time on my hands:)

70. 71. 73. I have a 74. I still hate the original color. I even have an example of that tank I the garage as a spare. Luckily paint is a bit rough so I don't feel bad about painting it.
 
For me it's a confusing love/hate with the XS1B.
My fav model, just don't like all that gold. Needs something. Maybe more contrasting colors.
XS1 green with XS1B upgrades.
XS1B with XS1 green paint.
XS1B with paint scheme of later standards.
XS1F with butterscotch/black (???) scheme. (Can't find the pic)
Saw an XS1B with a silver-grey/black scheme that looked good.
 
The green and gold was awesome. Most of the color schemes from the 70's are gorgeous IMHO. Naturally, mine is black...
 
I thought that was an XS2 color

That's another good one, contrasting colors following tank shape.
The XS650D scheme (maroon/gold?) you posted earlier is also to my liking.

Just me being me, I guess.

Wanted to see that butterscotch XS2 in the northern hemisphere...

I'm partial to the 75. that black with the white And gold striping is just great.
Any of the standards are more appealing to the eye than the Specials.

That vegas green that came on the txA instead of turd brown looks great.

Do you have a pic of the Vegus green. Seen a couple but have to confirm if it is the original paint.

Shit Brown..........go and wash your mouth out...............:laugh:.
