I bought a yellow 883 at a Honda shop. The original owner had apparently bought it new for his wife. Proof Sportsters are 'girls bikes'? Anyway, after putting a lot of 'bling' on it, they had traded it in, probably for a Rebel because she was just learning to ride. It only had 80 miles.
I bought it on a cloudy day, and the next day I was pleasantly surprised to see there were different colored specks in the paint. If that is the chrome yellow people are posting about, I would say go for it. It was beautiful paint.

A friend and I were just looking at a Yellow/Black Limited today, he loves Yellow bikes.
Yellow has never really been my color for a bike, but I gotta say, that two toned Limited didn't look that bad.
He loves that in a sea of 100 bikes, he can pick his out right away.

i never thought i would end up with a yellow bike, but when i saw mine in the sun it hooked me pretty hard. just got the bike a few weeks ago, and the yellow really pops in the sun. i just completed a four week bike trip and got mine on the way home, due in large part to seeing only one just like mine in the four weeks.

I was looking for white, but when I saw the yellow in the sun I could not resist. In my travels this year I have only seen 1 other Yellow SG. Not like the 5 black SG's I saw this morning coming to work.
Here is my work in progress.

I had a yellow Datsun 240Z, and a Toyota 4X4 that was yellow, vowed never again, tried it sorta liked it, but never on my scooter!!
As the saying goes, been there, done that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a safer color for the cagers out there lurking to run us over!!!
