Default Yellow Iron

So, yesterday I was at the local dealer's big party where they were rolling out the 2011 bikes and they had a couple new 2011 883Lows (I refuse to use the stupid name), not bad looking bikes. It is strange to see sportbike radials on them. Anyway, they had a yellow Iron, and maybe it's my sportbike background (where people aren't afraid of color), but I really like the look of the yellow and black look. I liked it a lot better than the blue on the 2011 Nightster they had.

They had a yellow one at High Desert in Boise too. It looked real good.

To each his own, and I know that no color is better than another, but the 2011 Yellow FatBoy I saw looked like a school bus.

I can see how on a larger bike it might be too much, but on such a small bike with not much in the way of tins, it looked sweet. And whole lot better than it looked on the website.

Yellow and Black. Looks like an ABBA ZABBA wrapper.

To me a nightster or Iron shouldn't be really bright. I mean I though they were supposed to be dark customs or so the MoCo says. Maybe they should call them the Bumble Bee package!

I've got the flat black and silver nightster and wouldn't trade for one of the 2011, but the blue nightster and the yellow iron, looked pretty sweet IMO
