I have gotten a lot of complements on the color.

They do look better in person. So much so I pulled the trigger for the 11 FLHTK. The ride is so much better than the 03 Ultra. The 103 is a huge step up also. Of course the distracted snowbird took the choice of keeping the 03 away from me.

Perhaps I'm just not as picky about color as some, but I find some of the '11 colors interesting.
Naturally, there's always Vivid Black. The Sedona Orange looks great in the sun, but it's available on many models so if you want somewhat unique this likely ain't it. The Merlot Sunglo / Vivid Black combo is nice, as is the Dark Candy Root Beer / Light Candy Root Beer. Saw a SG in the Psychedelic Purple / Vivid Black combo - looked much better in person than on the website.
I liked the White Ice / Black Ice combo on the '10 SG... haven't seen one on the road.

Was my thought, too....
But I also suspect they do things...more to the point, take away things...to sort of force us to focus on new stuff.
Like how they came out with the Rocker and then new Wide Glide, and suddenly the Night Train and Softail Custom are discontinued (lessen "copper cruiser" competition against their new models?)
Same with colors....the new Merlot and Sedona Orange colors come out, they take away some of the other non-standard colors to help push the new ones.
Just my little conspiracy theory.
