I love my 2016 Velocity Red SGS, but yeah the other colors with graphics are terrible, black Quartz was good looking.

Default Head set

If I go on the big slab I use the head set over the speekers and I have the 2015 street glide cvo with the 600wt boom 2 stearo. Yes I can hear it at speed but not like the head set. Just saying

(Sorry wrong post)

The Slim S in army green is cool but in all black is one of the baddest looking HDs in a long time.

Best looking bike of the bunch - Slim S. Didn't get to ride it at our recent dealer demo because it was reserved the whole day.

Nothing will make everyone happy. I did not like the Cosmic blue on the RGU the graphics looked like some tribal art tattoo when wife looked at it she said bass boat.. After have a Red 2013 the 2016 just did not do it for me. Black is boring and the Blue was nice but was just that Blue. The purple looked like it came from a Barbie doll set.
Someone must like them they are selling.
I went with the Sliver and black, the single red pin stripe works for me.

The Street Glide in bass boat gold is hideous and should be sold to pimps.

The Heritage in white/turquoise blue is kinda cool, only because it gives a retro look to the bike. Not that I would own it.

The Slim S in green is just bad ***. I could even live with the star. I don't typically like green, but it really works on that bike with the rest being blacked out. With the 110, that bike is big fun to ride. Out of all the new models, that would be one I would buy.

The purple looks good on Barney, not on the FLHTK. That being said, I don't like purple bikes, at least not ones with lots of body parts. Maybe on a sporty.

Suffice it to say, unless it's a Slim S I'm not buying a 16. I'll continue making my Charcoal Pearl/Black bike, mine
I couldn't agree more. The CVO limited in silver and cobalt blue looks great! I just bought a paint set in charcoal pearl/black pinstripe from Jim's HD in Florida. I can't wait to in stall it. Even more interesting is that the moco's not offering it on the 2016 FLHXS's? I think that's a mistake. Also, When are they bring back Dayton Blue Pearl? The moco knocked it out of the ball park with it IMO...only a one year run?
