Gentlemen, I must agree to disagree with each of you. In my humble opinion, the 2000 model possesses the best paint scheme. The white/blue combo is unique and most pleasing to my eye..... and that's all I've got to say about that. ;-)

OK since someone brought it up, the 2001 was one of the best color combo's. I won't say that it's the best but I also won't agree that any other combo is better.
I will however say that the '01 colors are indeed my favorite! :thmup:
I just happen to get lucky and those were the colors on the bike when I bought it used.

I have a 2003 now but the best color is the 1998-99 dark green that I had on the bike we totaled in 2009.

The '98-'99 Green is my favorite, though the '01 red/beige is a close second. I would really like the '92-'93 black if the second color was something other than teal. I have a '95 teal/blue Voyager that sometimes gags me, and sometime I can tolerate. However, I'm amazed by how many people come up to me and say how much they like the color!

Common guys... my '91 isn't all that bad. In these color discussions it's always the "worst." Where's the love?

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Teal & Black '92-'93, or the Two tone Teal '94 &'95. Of every rally I attended, the number of Teal's always out numbered all others. Even Debron has to concur with this......

Not that I'm partial since I have a '94 and a '03. But my Teal has been my baby for some time.....

P.S. I truly liked all the color schemes, up to the '03, but it's growing on me......

I know I'm new to the Voyager world, but I looked for one for over a year before I found one at a good price per bike. I wanted the "98, "99 that green and black IS the most pretty. I have a "94 and it will do for now but I will still be looking for 98, 99 fairings and bags. Oh it will be mine, yes it will be mine...

'92 and '93 Black and Teal. I shopped for a year before finding a xii that was in one of my favorite combos (red and black anniversary and green and black the other 2) and met good price per miles etc... Now that I have the black and teal the teal has become kind of an "in" color the last couple of years.
