Desert Canyon Silver with Bronco Inserts....have owned two of these.. one of the 86 Color combo , one of the 95 Color Combo and one of the 87 Color Combo....but if I were to chose a color combo that is my favorite , the 98 -99 color combo of the dark green with black. It really looks great and I have several body parts of that color combo that I have slowly gathered over the years in order to eventually swap out once in a while to drive my friends bonkers...

If it ain't red, it can't be seen! The 96 and 97 easily tops them all! :LvStrk

You mean Suave Mauve, right?

My favorite is the '98/'99. But all of them look good if the bike has been taken care of. They all look bad if they haven't. My favorite used to be the '92/'93 until I saw that forest green and black.

The '86 is the best, followed by the 87's beige and then the '94's unusual Teal..

Asphalt, the final frontier; these are the treks of the Kawasaki Voyager; its continuing mission to explore strange new roads, to seek out new sites, new bed & breakfasts, to boldly ride where no one has ridden before.

Burnt Orange is a good color. I'm thinking when it comes to repaint my XII, I'll shoot all Jet Black or all Knight White, no 2 tone panels with pin striping.
Simpler is better. :wnk2:

I love the Green on my 98 Voyager. I've had lots of compliments on it. All the colors in my opion look great also. No matter what color these are just great looking bikes. I'm lucky enough to own one!
