Which color to get?

I am looking at a new Heritage Classic. The dealer has both a 2010 Merlot & Cherry and a 2010 Black model. The only difference is the Merot/Cherry is about $700 more than the Black model. The Merlot/Cherry is a "Custom Color" through March.

I like the way both bikes look. Will the Merot/Cherry be a desirable color later on? Or is it better to stick with the basic Black color that Harley's are known for?

What color do you like the most. get it and ride the thing, who cares what everyone else thinks. but yes mine is black, I wanted cobalt blue but that was the previous year color to my purchase in 08. so I bought black. they all look great in black but some like other colors, that could be you.

If your asking if the Merlot will be worth more money later the answer is no.

Hey, that Merlot two tone almost had me trading in my 08. I'm so glad they sold it before I got stupid and bought a new bike just because it was purty.
