Talking Snake Venom colour

I can't afford one this year, but I liked the SNAKE VENOM colour (is it a flip paint? Looks somewhat green, then somewhat black (on the internet) as I spun the bike through 360*.

Has anyone seen Snake Venom in person?

There are no 2021's in these parts for me to go look at, or I'd just go look. (we also likely won't get many different colours, as 90% of the bikes we get here are black, black or black.

That color is not out yet is what I am told. I went to my Dealership last night to look into it. I may be trading my bike in for one in that color so I am really wanting to see it too. I hear within the next month they should be out?

Reminds me of the mustang terminator mystichrome. Maybe I'm wrong but that was my initial interpretation.

I like it. Hopefully see one soon out and about. Based on the large thread going on about 2021 models, most don't like it. But then again, seems all some do here is own a Harley simply so they can complain non-stop about Harley

I thought the same thing. One of my favorite mustang colors but not sure how it will look on a bike. Will reserve judgment until I see it in person.

Interesting color. But it is way too ghetto for my tastes. I'm thinking more for the sportbike crowd.

this doesn't happen very often, but I agree with Dickey.

Those color shift paints were all the rage about 15 years ago, but are now pretty silly-looking in my opinion. And those asymmetrical graphics don't sit well with me either.

From the photos, I'm liking the paint. Definitely need to see in person and in the sun. Completely agree on the graphics. Looking at the RKS, the tank looks cool, but they went one step too far with the "1" on the left bag. Too bad.

From what I've seen online it looks green one way an purple the other. Have to see it in person.... I personally want nothing to do with purple on any vehicle. Not my thing.

As a Canadian, I wasn't going to mention the "1" for fear of being flamed. The "1" wouldn't make much sense up here as it's "Americanized" the numeral.

That being said, Harley Davidson's are (mostly) American, so would I be talking out both sides of my face if I poo-poo'd the idea of the big bad #1? I dunno.
I dig american iron whether it's a car, bike or tool. I'd rather buy North American products if possible.

Flip paint is not USUALLY my favorite, but this beats a lot of the other colours I see this year (jmo)

I look forward to reviews of this colour or in the very rare chance I get to see it in person, I'll grab the opportunity.

Had a purple bike about 30 years ago. My Daughter who was about 5 back then called it Dads Barney bike! After that every time I looked at that bike I saw Barney the dinosaur. Sold the Barney bike with 2 months. 😂
