Default '09 model opinions

Just went to the shop here in Taipei and saw the 2009 models. Can't say I like the silver powdercoat on the street bob or the rocker. The one rocker I saw was totally covered, bullet housing, engine, oil, everything. Looked like hell. imho.


What do you think?

Most of them appeal to me, but like most things with wheels, I don't care for all of the models and colors

Same as the above. If it has a motor and wheels, I like it. I do prefer the black powder coat to the silver finish, but I still like them.

You like that silver powder coat? Makes the bike look like it is made out of plastic.

Either chrome or wrinkle black before I would consider this model.
