Honestly I do not know wich one I prefer. In 09 there was just vivid black. Funny though this is my 3th vivid black bike.

Vivid black with some extra powder coating! The vivid black does scratch, but those are signs that it gets ridden!

RODE DAWG, I think that flat black A/C cover is a perfect little contrast in the middle of your engine, is that stock or yours ? Nice Looking Bike ! Jim.

Smile Denim vs glossy paint

Don't you pay more for a denim finish? I liked it at first, but am over it. Its ok, but l'll take glossy paint over primer.

Thanks Jim. The A/C cover is stock but powder coated Black Denim (except for the center ring which I took off before powder coating and then put back on.)

I have an 09 EGS in Denim Black. You can not beat the fact that when it gets dirty, you spray it down with windex and wipe. I bought it to ride, not to polish on.
