No I haven't seen any on the road but like you said there is one at the dealer and while the black and silver ones do not stay on the floor long ... the yellow one is there everytime I walk in ! I actually like the way it looks ... just not enough to ever buy it haha

I wish I would have gotten black: it is so different from everyone else.

Honestly the color on it wasn't the biggest issue (still wouldn't buy it though), it was the Harley-Davidson on the tank. It actually looked like it was just stamped on it like this gumball.

But, I digress. Maybe we can have a forum scavanger hunt and see who can find one out in the wild!!

The benefits I see with the yellow is more visiblity for the cagers...and....when you spill gas...on the tank....It easier to wipe...compared to the denim black!! Dang gas stations with their crappy nozzles!

Hell yeah! I know that feeling. Pull into a 7-11 and left the nozzle to place into the tank (haven't even selected the grade yet) and gas spills all over the tank.

Pissed me right the f-ck off!

Been there ! I flipped out and since learned to really shake it before putting it anywhere near the bike! ! !

I was thinking the same thing, but since it isn't glossed or anything wouldn't age kinda make it start going pink?

matte red? yes, but only a very deep red.
matte copper or bronze could be awesome as well.
