Saw the color today. I thought it looked good. I would have to see it on a model I was actually gonna buy to make final decision, but it looked good. I only saw a gas tank in this color.

I think it is a nice color...But I wouldn't choose it for my bike...But I have noticed every time we sell one at the dealership and I have to go fill one that color with gas...Women will comment on what a nice bike and they love the color....Hmmmm If I were single I might consider that color as it sure is a conversation starter with the women...Screw what everyone else thinks...If you like it ...Get it.

Like the man said, if you like it, buy it. I think black ice was a better color. I saw psychedelic purple at a dealership. It just was missing something. I've seen better shades of purple from HD in the past. Even the shriner purple is a better shade, in my opinion. Too bad I'm not a shriner. I'm in the market for a HD and I'm taking a pass on the psych purple/vivid black color combo. Just remember, if you are like me and plan to hold onto what you get for awhile, you'll likely look at what you get everyday. Ask yourself if the color combo you're thinking about is something you'd want to look at everyday for a real long time.

Nothing is wrong with a purple bike. There are just a bunch of homophobes out there who worry too much about what everyone else thinks.

One of my friends that I ride with just got a 2011 Street Glide with purple . It looks good. You dont have to look very hard to find your bike.

I've got to say one more thing. HD calls it PSYCHEDELIC purple. There's nothing psychedelic about it. A psychedelic color is like the ones that turn from purple, to blue to green, depending on what angle you're looking at it. That would be psychedelic. This is a lightly metallic dull purple color, mismatched with non-metallic flat vivid black. But to each his own. If you like it, go for it.
