I like the heavy metal flake, and I think a touch of that (probably not all over the place) would look great on the bigger bikes.

Looks like the MoCo did make provisions for those that do not like the new colors, it's called black. Nothing wrong with with that.

I would buy that color before I would buy black.

As a matter of fact, I would buy any color before I would buy black.

That`s why they make different colors.

I heard that about sports cars. But never about motorcycles.

Harley is a brand that is always looking to market to the masses. If they are considered sellouts than so be it. It happens everyday. Have people seen a Harley catalogue? Have people seen a KISS catalogue? You can get a HD popcorn machine. I am not a huge fan of the metal flake green but at least it's a bike. I guess I am taking the middle of the road on this one. The metal flake green and the popcorn machine supports the MOCO, therefore it keeps the the machine running and keeps people working.

If you want to speculate on future values, buy one of those Hard Candy Green bikes and put it in the basement for 40 years. They're not gonna sell alot of 'em. LMAO.

If I had a bike that color, I would hang some spinner baits off the bars and watch them as I go down the road.

All the other green bike's that the MoCo produced sold well and I'm willing to bet this one will to.

My first 74 was a fall color in 1977--------------they had a brown and a green that released late in the summer.I had my fill of bad luck blue sportys so I traded for a green super glide .That SOB of a bike was bad luck like I had never seen in my life.Women wanted on it so bad and seemed to want to take off all of their clothes fairly quickly after being exposed to it.It seemed to make me want to throw 1$ bills at strippers too---------then I even had the misfortune to date several living with one for a year until That bike made me crazy and I beat the crap out of a guy who kept tipping her with $100 bills .I met another girl and quit my job moving closer to her with nothing more than what clothes I had and the bike.Heres where it gets spooky,this bike made her marry me and knocked her up 3 yrs later.I changed the tank and fenders on it and just found the old ones stashed away in the garage even the tins made me call a old girlfriend at 2 in the morning and talk to her until 6------------------------I sold those tins with a warning at a swap meet and hope none of the back luck follows but they are still green
