Default So..was about to pull the trigger...

...on a Sportster Custom. Had the color all picked out and was just beating my buyers remorse demon into submission and I find they sold the bike I wanted. They have a pearl white custom that is less than the two-tone I had picked but even though I kinda like the white Im thinking "A white Harley?" Isnt that grounds for a shunning?

There is nothing wrong with white, especially if that is the color you want.
Just remember that it wont go as fast as a black one.

When I was looking for a bike this last Winter, there was a white 03 1200C on Ebay that I wanted real bad, it was just to far away. White Sporty's are cool IMO.

Well, I'm as man as it gets. My bike looks purple in the sun and get teased by the black bike riders all the time.

Bottom line is buy the color that you like, don't force yourself to accept color that you don't like, even it costs less.

It's apersonal choice. I have seen plenty of sweet lookin' white sporties.
If you like white, get white. If youlike the 2 tone, then find what ya like. I went 2-tone, and whatI thoughtwas going to take weeks for them to get, theyfound one for me in a matter of days.
