Most of the color combos I am not a fan of. There are a couple I could go for.

Personally, I like the sedona orange Road King. The RK usually gets left out of the brighter colors.

I've been watching the new Harley-Davidson motorcycle year model introduction every year since 1986. For me, this is absolutely the WORST color selection I have ever witnessed. And I do mean EVER! ............. Just awfull!!!!

I can see how some of the colors were geared toward women. I liked the paint job on the CVO Street Glide.

Some of the colors are not for me, but if we all had black bikes it would be pretty boring.

I like the root beer Ultra limited but you never know until you actually see the color in person. The psychodelic purple is a bit loud.

Ain't that the truth.

I had seen Black Pearl RGs indoors a bunch of times and never noticed it. Then, just when I was just about resigned to buying a white Ultra, there was a Black Pearl Road Glide parked in the sunlight, and right then I knew what colour I wanted.

This colour thing is tough for me right now, too. I'm probably going to buy an RG Ultra, and the colours are so UNinspiring that I need to see the Brilliant Silver Pearl or Cool Blue Pearl in real life.

What is this "Custom Color" about ? Could I order a bike in Black Pearl ?
