That orange color makes me all tingly!!! The only down side is there will be a TON of them wherever you go. I'm running into that a LOT with my Limited.

Get the blue one...Then black it out . That's what I'd do if I got either one of the two .

that was my thought.... plus it would be more uncommon...the Sedona Orange seems to have really taken off... i hadn't even seen a RG in the cool blue till this weekend at a dealer and that was a RGU. Haven;t seen a blue RGC ANYWHERE...not even in a picture yet... BE the first!

i wish they offered the RGC in the Merlot.... i think i'd be ON that...

Blue and Chrome go very well together.

I tend to agree with the consensus. The new blue for 2011 looks better in person than it does on Harley's web site (surprise, surprise) but it doesn't really grab me. I much prefer the shade of blue Harley has put on the previous few year models. Check out Nemick's sig pic on page 1 of this thread for an example. I'd take the orange over it, hands down, but to each their own.

I was at a dealer in central FL and saw damn near every model with that blue on it. I'd say you have to like blue first of all. On the right bike it has its moments, but you gotta like blue. Too powdery for me. Chic color, chics need something just for them too, right?. Might look nice on a Toyota Camry or some Buick LaCrosse.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder who at HD comes up with either the colors, or more to the point, the striping that they put on some bikes. My Roadie for example; Red Hot Sunglo with beige striping ........... really ....... BIEGE!?!

I take it you haven't seen the 2011 CVO Street Glide in Orange and Black with PURPLE pinstriping.... Yeah, PURPLE!

I think this solid blue will be like the special 2-tone green color of 2007. Dealers will have a hard time selling Ultras in this color. Thic blue also comes in 2-tone with black. Looks a little better but not much IMO.
