I like black bikes but I'd go with the Merlot Cherry....that color must look really nice on a Heritage.

I gotta go with Henry Ford on this one . . . you can have any color you want, as long as it's black.
IMHO nothing sets of chrome in the sunlight like gloss black . . .

merlot...is that a french color? go w/ the merlot. when people ask what color it is just expect a lot of "ohh, that's cool man", or, "yeah, like the wine", or well never mind.

Cars, trucks, or bikes: There's no color that can look as good as black when it's clean and shiny, or look worse when it's not.

We looked at the Merlot & Cherry Heritage, the Merlot is OK, but the Cherry just doesn't go with it.

The wife likes the Starlet Red and I like the Black or the Scarlet Red....hard decisions...
