What is this yellow?

Excellent bit of deduction and you are spot on with the year. Scorched yellow was on my short list but isn't it a metallic yellow?

I must say the yellow on your tank doesn’t look quite right. Scorched Yellow had more of a gold look, which is why I alluded to a respray. I think you’re right that it was metalic but can’t recall exactly. Same colour was used on early Daytona 675 and Speed Triple so logic suggests metallic. Maybe repair/custom paint shop could help you match it.

Yep, those pics confirm it and they are definitely a metallic finish and mine is 'flat' (base coat and lacquer) so it looks like I will have to get it matched as you suggest.
Ta very much for the help

Blasphemy!!! Yellow gear is, well, yellow!!!

Actually that is a good thing, now you can't accuse people of painting their cars on the weekends at the GSE shack as easily!!!

Once you include all of the two tone Classic versions missing from this old thread there must be at least 20 Triumph factory Rocket IIII paint versions.

Paint codes

I have an 08 classic in the Blood & Bone paint scheme. Does anyone know the paint codes so I can get some made up?

So @RazMan , what colour did you figure these would be, same as your tank or different?
The early Rocket III 2005/2006 factory Yellow was Racing Yellow with Gold Flames decals.
