Hi guys ,
Considering having a street bob as a second bike (currently I own a Roadking custom) -
Does anybody has any pics of the bike in Green pearl and black - I saw this two tone combination somewhere and in my opinion it really looks good!

Coming from a roadking what riding differences should I expect from thisbike in comparison to the touring line?
I am asking you this because good or bad here in Germany there is a lot of highwayriding involved - how street bob handles on the highway ?

Thanks
John

 

I think that color combination was just on the 06 models in a limited number as well.

I thought that green was an unlucky color,a very old superstition in the biker community? I won't own a green bike for that very reason!!!! Never laid one down,never had green gotta go with what works.LOL Dave...

 

pm sent.

 

Is it the olive green color you're looking for? If it is, I believe the pre-production pictures showed it with a secondary color of black on the tank and both fenders. But when it came time for production, I believe they only added the black to the tank. The fenders remained solid green. Here's one for sale in ebay. Not mine but you can see the color and what I mean pretty well.

Or are you refering to the Dragon Fly Green Lowrider? This color was not an option on the Street Bob. I love this color and would like to have a WG in this color scheme.

I've heard the superstition against green race cars but never heard it related to bikes or non-race vehicles.

green bikesare dangerous!!! thats why you don't see many out there cause there all wrecked. at least in my opinion I would never own one... not to be superstitious

 

Ive never heard of green as a bad luck color. Old superstition huh? Anybody out there can elaborate that story?

 

Yeah its the olive green colorIam looking for -like the one in the ebay link .

So in your personal experiences how does bob handles on the long distance traveling ? on the highway use - is it a stable solid bike ?
