My buddy in Indiana on the phone was telling me a local dealer was trying to get him to trade his 2003 Deuce on a new StreetGlide. The StreetGlide was the all yellow model. Said the dealer was practically begging him to take the bike off his hands. We both agreed that Yellow was not a color either of us cared for on a Harley, much less on anything else other than a school bus. Then I got to thinking about Who does have a Yellow Harley and wondering how great they made the color look with their individual customizing.
So, who's got a Yellow Harley and wants to show what it looks like?
No disrespect meant here at all.
Depends on what kind of deal he can get. Swapping out the yellow for black wouldn't be that hard/expensive so if he can get a good deal I'd take the brand new bike over the 10 year old one. Also he could get it and see if it grows on him. If so awesome, if not refer too the beginning of this post. All depends on if he is happy with what he has and if he can afford the upgrade if he isn't
The new yellow chrome limiteds are da cats azz IMO. If I were to trade, it would be for one of them. Be patient, pics will pop up, there are a few out there on the fourms.
Personally, I've drooled over a yellow Ultra Limited a couple of times. That color really sparkles in the light. I would have no problems riding one. But I can't afford to make any trades for a while.
