I wanted a white bike but when I decided to buy, my local dealer only had black. My do over would be not having bought black, which shows every swirl since day one. (Actually, I had a 'done deal' by phone on a white bike 30 miles away but they raised the price when I showed up to buy it, so I walked. Have always wished I hadn't done that. Or that the dealer didn't try to screw me in the first place. That dealer shut down a couple of years later, so that evened things out a bit.)

I like what I got, but I was buying used and had a limit on what I was going to spend. I got what I expected I just didn't want a black, or Red bike. But I got a good price and I am happy. Next time since I have a bike know will be a color other than Black or Red.

Red too hard to see the red lights, and Black shows too much dirty and like said before swirls and there are too many of them out there.

Rob, just curious. Why do you wish you hadn't bought the power duals? I assume you are referring to the V&H X pipe?

I would have waited longer to buy my 14 Limited. I test rode a new Limited toward the end of August 2013. I was hooked, my dealer snagged me my first color choice so I bought. Had I waited six to nine months I would have saved a little. My dealer made me a fair deal for the time. Those buying now have the greatest opportunity to buy a fantastic bike at a great price. Not a big regret, love the bike.

Nope, wouldn't do anything different. Just made it the way I wanted and plan on keeping it for many years, in order to reap the benefits of the mods done. It has evolved into a simple yet solid, well sorted bike that is a real pleasure to ride.

The black RK looks fabulous in the showroom. My hunch is that it will rarely look that good ever again. You confirmed my hunch.
