I have seen many Black and some Dark Blue 883R's, I prefer the Harley racing orange colour scheme, what do members here think of it ?

The orange 883R is probably my favorite Harley paint scheme ever, almost went that way but the 1200 won me over.

Don't think I've ever seen it in dark blue. But I do really like that color scheme, though I may be biased since I own one!

Also one of my favorites. I would have loved to find one of those when I was looking, but no luck. Now ,of course, I see them all the time. But I remain happy with what I got. Have to have em all some day!
