It's NOT Red!
 
If one more person tells me my beautiful Laguna ORANGE RGS is "pretty" or a "beautiful" red I may either completely snap or be forced to find a safe space....if Red had won the color vote I would be on a Red bike, but dang it man, Orange is the better color and won the vote!!

Signed, satisfied new Fugly convert.

I hear ya' my RK always seems to look more red than orange in pictures..I have to try and do color adjustments but my camera color scheme and pc software don't seem to be able to capture Laguna orange very well for some reason

Just tell 'em your bike is a Cleveland Browns fan :-)

Yeah, I don't even see how it's mistaken for red.

:(

Man I hate to be this way, but what is the deal with these colors and names for them that HD comes up with?

They all sound like they were created and named but some metrosexual. If it were me I would be the exact opposite. If someone said they liked my "Laguna Orange" bike I would swear it was red.

Sounds like the same person who names HD colors, names Cover Girl Lipstick.....

You're making my point for me. It's as though they are trying to appeal to women, and I'm just not sure why a man would be overly worried about it.

Anyone who thinks that Laguna orange is red, needs to have their eyes checked. Beautiful color.

I hear ya', interesting how many women are riding these days..I swear our local HOG Chapter must be about 30% ish women..my wife rides and she bought a new 2017 orange Freewheeler to replace her 2012 TG, and she started on a Sportster

Before anyone accuses me of losing my manhood, my post was in jest. Although it does look reddish until the sun hits it....
