What Colour is Your RT TC (2010 - 2013)

Post by **David.** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 5:01 pm

By popular demand a Poll of "What Colour is Your RT TC" has been set up.

I've had a 2010 in Thunder Grey & now got a 2012 in Midnight Blue, therefore have voted for the latter.

If you have another Colour, please post here & I'll add it to the Poll.

Ostra Grey

I thought I'd seen it somewhere before it appeared this year on the LC.  Think I remember it being called Afrika korps sand.

Sand Beige appeared on the Hexhead, I'll add it to that thread/Poll.

The TC hadn't been out that long when I had a ride on the Demo bike at Pidcock's and very nice it was too. That was the Polar Metallic which IMO looked well. Also had a ride on a bike which was up for sale and have memories of it being an almost matt grey/brown, real cruddy colour but can't seem to find anything close on t'internet.

Didn't go for either as the price to change exceeded the uplift in riding experience for my money.

Ostra Grey (Matt).

Didn't mean the cruddy bit to any who are fortunate enough to have an Ostra Grey bike.  :-X

My new 2016 that I got just in time for cold weather is "Platinum Bronze".
That is a nice name for beige.
I would like to think of it as German Racing Silver with a touch of beige.
Whatever the color, I am looking forward to riding this spring.
It should be a nice change from my R1200R.

Thanks Benchmark.  I was confused by the TC terminology.

In 2009 BMW went to double overhead camshafts on the RT which is where the TC (twin cam) comes from
