This actually seems to be one of the more interesting model years in a long time. If you don't think so, then you're not looking.
Color choices will never please all, but at least there is always vivid black.
Kudos to the MoCo on this one.

Just a sign of the times for many riders today. Gotta have something new and different every few weeks or they get bored and want to move on to some other brand or model. I say let em go.

Honestly, I don't see a thing about the 12s that excites me . The MoCo is really stinking it up . It's like they have become George Castanza , and just decided to wear sweat pants . Rearrange a few parts, add a color, remove a color, and here ya go, loyal buyers....your 2012 models!!!!

I love the fact that a 10 year old Harley looks as good as a new one. I'm not big on changing barleys appearance. If I want to make changes of course that's fine. Lol

+1 I think the significant reduction of the color palette is a cost saving decision. It saves them money to give us less choices. As an owner of a "funky" colored (as another poster put it) custom color bike, I think it is too bad that the choice are down to black, blue, red and silver for most bikes.
