I bought the yellow/Black limited Dec. 15th. I was looking at the red/merlow last year but saw the yellow and loved it. I have right at 7K miles on it already. No extra glare from the paint, more glare from the chrome center console like one other poster stated. I also like it that you do not see many ultra's in yellow like that. I do think cagers see it a little easier (if they are actually looking) had one last weekend pull out in front of me but I had already slowed down because I could tell they were not looking my way. The bad thing is I think the bugs see it better to because every time I take it out I come back with it covered in bugs.
I would make them roll it out in the sun so you can get it. It looks different in sun. Has some green metal flake in certain lighting. I would say as long as you like the color go for it.
Well, could be worse options. There's always purple, or that god awful apple green!
Or that god awful root beer! (JK. When I first heard about the root beer bikes, my reaction was "who would by a brown motorcycle?" But I actually think the root beer bikes look good in the sun. Just not as good as my purple!)
To the OP: As you can tell by now, there is no consensus on ANY color (even black, which I think is boring). Get what you like and ignore anyone that doesn't like it.
