Late to the game here, but I'll toss my opinion in:
I love the looks of the orange...but I'd never own one.
I'm a fairly monochromatic person anyway, but I usually like a little bit of color to my bikes (my new SG is my first black bike, actually)
My first Harley was a 2000 Sporty with that silver & aqua two-tone. The aqua looked kick *** beautiful, despite me hating pastel colors with a passion. So I got it.
Within 6 months, though, I was sick of it.
I kind of see the Sedona Orange the same way: beautiful color for Harleys, but one I'd like to see on other bikes now and then...not my own bike every single day.
But that being said, for all of you who love it as much on day 500 as day 1...more power to ya.

I'm was in the same boat as you....trying to decide on the Sedona or other colors. Here's my two reasons not to go Sedona:
1.) Eventually, you'll say to yourself, "What was I thinking?" after that pretty orange ain't so pretty anymore. Tastes change as do color trends. Sedona Orange is very different than the vivid, primary orange of some of the older HD's. It's a trendy color palette and probably will make the bike very hard to sell (if you ever need or want to) in 5-6 years.
2.) In my opinion, the inner fairing on the RG needs to be color matched to the bike. That's a $900 propostion from HD. Then it hit me....Get the Black Denim and the fairing is already color matched!!!! The flat black plastic inner fairing looks great with the black denim and requires no additional $$ outlay to color match.
Case closed for me.....go denim black!!

I think the Sedona is hot. It definitely makes a statment. The thing about black is, it remindes be of a guy that have no inagination so he alway gets, black His car, his van, her SUV and his bike, He just can't decide or is too chicken to stay live with black. How boring.

Sedona orange is bad-***. Be an individual. For me, part of the Harley experience is the flash that comes from the combination of chrome and the color. The orange has flash. Get it and you'll stand out in a sea of black bikes.
