Default Big Blue Pearl

My wife and myself stopped at a Harley dealer yesterday to look at the new bikes (thinking about a Road King or Street Glide) They had a Big Blue pearl Street Glide sitting outside. I love it! The color looks fantastic in the sun. The orange also looks a lot nicer than on the website even though its not for me.

Big Blue Pearl is a great color. It really explodes in the sun. Only had the new Iron for a few days and I can't count how many compliments I have heard about the look of the bike and the color.

I bought the new Fatboy Lo in the new big blue pearl! The color is awsome in low light areas it almost looks black but when its in the sun the color explodes! But even in the sun where the light does not hit it still looks dark! This color really complaments all the blacked out parts on the Lo as well.. I love it!!!

I was disappointed with the new orange color as well. I'm a big fan of orange (especially Sedona, Copperhead Pearl) but the new color didn't do much for me.

Yeah, the new blue really pops in the sun...high metallic content.....If I was getting a 2012, that would be the way I would go personally.

The Big Blue Pearl is a real eye catcher. Thats what got me, they had one out in front of the dealership in the sun. It looks darker at night and then really comes out in the sun. Hope to get better pics, but since I just picked this bike up a few days ago she doesn't sit still long enough to get a good pic.
