I think its a very pretty motorcycle. Funny thing is, I didn't even notice the wheels were bronze, and that's the crux of the matter. Paint, tank badges, wheel color - none of that is the 'meat' of the motorcycle or motorcycling. I've ridden for quite a few years and still recall how excited folks were about the CB750 when it came out - 4 cylinders, disc brake, ran like a top, didn't leak oil, 120 mph! Same for the 500 Kawasaki - 3 cylinders, low price, ran like stink in a straight line. No one cared what color they were. The same thing when I bought my 2014 Ultra Limited - the Rushmore luggage, GPS, water cooled heads. The fact that it was also black & grey with a pin stripe - who cares?

This picture looks like a rendering to me. I have to go pick up a part tomorrow, If they have one in stock I'll either come back here with photo's or ride one home.

I'm not a fan of all the gold, especially the gold wheels. Never been a fan of gold wheels. I almost picked up a Ducati Cafe Racer a few years ago. The one thing that stopped me was it was black/gold with gold wheels. Couldn't do it and wasn't going to spend the coin to get rid of the wheels.

IMO the 100th Anniversary paint scheme and emblem was the last really good one HD has done. The gigantic bronze/gold emblem for this year are a big turn off for me plus I've never liked red and black bike. It is still better than that atrocious 105th gold paint set but I'll save final judgement until I see it in person..
