Which Tequila Sunrise? Personally, I like both of them!!! There was a Tequila Sunrise CVO color in 2010 (I think).... and a Tequila Sunrise in '12 that was just a special color option.... They are very similar, but different.

Many will say it's too bright. Many will say only buy black. I'll say it's awesome!!! Question is, do YOU like it?

Funny, I was just looking for you CHL, trying to remember your screen name

I have seen a few Tequilas in my day, and drank a few too, but I digress. I really can't stand the color indoors, but outside, those things really pop! Cool color option, and really stands out. So you need to make sure you're OK with standing out too.

Trucks are white
Tractors are green
Harleys are black
It's the law!

Both my Harleys are black. And as a rule, I hate orange. But, gotta admit, that Tequila Sunrise really pops in the sun. If you're in doubt, it's probably not for you. I'm afraid I would get tired of that color. I never get tired of black.............simply get tired of cleanin em!

Are you looking at the one in the Oklahoma City dealership, I saw it yesterday and it is gorgeous. Pop doesn't say enough about it.

I just saw your location, North Carolina.

The color combination looks awesome, and will be easy to keep clean looking. Definitely easier than keeping a black bike clean! My black F-150 S-Crew looks awesome after getting it cleaned up...until I get out of the driveway and it's filthy again. That orange will stand out when parked in a sea of black bikes too.

I had a bike frame (as in bicycle -- Ritchey Road Logic) painted in House of Kolor's Tangelo Orange that is close to the orange you're asking about (like CHL's RK), and it popped in the sun and was great at hiding dirt and scratches.
