Muave, I tell ya...very rare (along with the Fuschia)....both generate 10% more HP and TQ and get 55 mpg and 22K out of a set of tires!

If those aren't available, Periwinkle is also good.

I've got Gunmetal pearl, I liked it when I first saw it, but bright red would have been my choice if the bike was new. Anything red will get me going.

I chose Black Pearl over vivid black. The Black Pearl is actually a dark gray looking color and I fell in love the first time I say it on da Glide! Good luck. BTW $300 isnt **** if you want something !

Ok, here's my 'real' answer - I agree with RGB, everything in perspective, if you need to pay $300 extra to get the color that will make you admire the bike that much more, that's a no-brainer. You're already spending <whatever> for the bike anyway, right? Best thing to do is see the colors in person, even if it's not on the model bike you want, you'll have a better idea what it looks like in the real world. Good luck, and congrats on the future purchase!
