This is usually my thing too... I've owned a few red cars over the years. Had a 77 Fiat, that faded a good bit. Had to always keep polishing the white off. But, that was red back in the day with no clear coat. Had a burgundy BMW 318 back in the 90's. Loved that car and loved that color.

When I bought my current Slim, I was very hesitant about the color... Mysterious Red SunGlo. It was the whole red thing. But, I gotta say, I really love it now. I think it goes really well with the blacked out bike quite well.

Now, I'm contemplating a new vehicle... Maybe a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. And, I'm looking at the burgundy. I really am beginning to like that color palette.

I love the new big flake paint from the MoCo! But am also of the no more flames or skulls school. When it's a stock paint job with skulls... Well, it's a bit contrived, isn't it? I mean, it's like dressing an executive up in leather and chains... Not really tough any more. (Not trying to be a douche or cut down anybody who has these paint jobs! It's just not for me, that's all. Just like red or green or blue is not for everyone)

 

I like the Hard Candy red, but I can't justify the extra $2,400-3,000 they're charging for them. Ouch.

 

Got the '17 Road King Special in the Hard Candy Hot Rod Red Flake. I've only had it 3 months, it's the only color I would consider in their line up. Love it, she's a real looker.

 

I guess the flake is ok but the red looks more maroon then "hot rod red." But that seems to be the gimmick lately. Black engine, black wheels, black pipes and really dark colors. Was at the dealership over the weekend and of the 30 or so new bikes on the floor only about 5 of them had any brightness to them. If that's the Harley trend then it's no wonder young guys don't want anything to do with them. Looking at all those dark, grim bikes was depressing.

 

The flake really brightens it up in the sun. The '18 Twisted Cherry color is a lot darker.

 

I've seen the red on multiple bikes. I really like it. Like I've said time and time before, I'm a sucker for a redhead.

 

Beautiful bike but you better watch the chain on your wallet or your wallet will be somewhat lighter!

 

LOVE that color. Was debating about that vs. the Olive Gold for my 17 RKS. Ultimately went for the latter, but only because I didn't like the tank graphics that came with the Hot Rod Red. Had they been the same tank badge I may very well have gone with the red.

 

Great color...

 

Idunno, I like flashy, chromey stuff on a bike. Y'all can have that drab wanna-be-bad look. Chrome don't get you home but it can get you laid. Chrome!
