White paint

[Clipper]

I recently bought a 2015 Trophy with 1600 miles on the clock. The bike was very clean. It has white paint. I've never seen any pics of a white trophy I have the only one I know of. The paint appears to be factory. Several friends feel the same. When I ran the VIN at the dealer, I was advised that the color is supposed to be blue. That leads me to believe that it was blue from the factory. I cant find evidence that the bike was once blue. Is it possible that the white paint is factory. Were any trophy white from the factory??

White has never been a Factory option on the Trophy.

The Original colours were Lunar Silver and Pacific Blue,
with Phantom Black being added a couple of years after launch.

There are a couple of Photo's of at least two White ones here :

What about this colour........

If you remove one of the coloured Panels, e.g a Side panel ( easiest )
you will probably see the original colour on the inside surface,
which is unlikely to have been painted.

Brand new white pannier lids and top box lids are available.

No Mystery ....

The ( latest model ) TROPHY was generally only available from the Factory
in Lunar Silver, Pacific Blue and Phantom Black colours.

OTHER Triumph Models share various Parts, including Panniers and Top Box,
that WERE ( and in some cases still are ) available in other colours .....



Worth bearing in mind for the future as Parts become scarcer !

White lids on a Phantom Black colour bike might actually look quite OK.  Adds to visibility as well.
