Only thing I like matte black is a old t bucket or model a hotrod but even then it's still iffy..

Couldn't agree more about the matte and denim paint. Generally looks like crap a within a year or so from what I've seen. I guess the MoCo considers vivid black to be too "old school" for the hip and forward-thinking, cutting-edge outfit it pretends to be!

I understand wanting a BRAND new bike, but would going with the newest year offered (idk year) in vivid black be an option?

Not for me. Been there, done that in the past. Never again!

Did they do Vivid Black on that model last year? Maybe a new leftover sittin' on a dealer's floor somewhere? I'll check into that.

Thanks for the idea,

I wouldn't buy a Harley in anything other than black (maybe, maybe red), but I wouldn't EVER buy a brand new bike either. Hopefully you can find a NOS in black!

I've got a dealer on the case right now. Fingers crossed!

Best wishes, and thanks,
