I like that color, reminds me of Pontiac engine paint color.
I felt the same way about my old bike, it was Smokey Gold, a real geezer color I thought but it was such a great deal. The color kind of grew on me and with a couple changes I really dug it and would love to paint my current bike the same.https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...road-king.html

Harley has done some blah blues and some awesome blues. Not a big fan of this one or the Dark Blue Pearl.
But this one is the best to date!!!
Big Blue Pearl and Vivid Black
Black Ice Blue Ice runs a close second.

I've a similar color, Teal. Teal and Silver. Not "macho" at all. But very pretty, and I do get many compliments from people on how pretty my bike is. In a sea of black Harleys, mine stands out.

Don't let anybody bust your ***** about your bike's color. I think it's very classy, and besides you can't see yourself when riding anyway. There's already enough black bikes on the road. It looks like Henry Ford must've been HD's painter.
No, I'm not a girl. I'm a 50 year old guy. That's my wife in the picture. That's why the picture is titled "My Girls"......my wife and my bike :-)

Ain't that the truth. Damn near every Street Glide in Chicago/Milwaukee area is vivid black.

Makes it easy find your bike at a big rally! At the Harley 110th it was a sea of vivid black bikes!

Saw the Pewter Pear Sliver Glide and promptly forgot about black!
People constantly compliment me on the color, especially the "pearl" effect.

My Fat Boy was smokey gold. Every time I looked at it I wished I had black. Aside from the fact that I wanted a new bike, the color definitely influenced my decision to get rid of it. Bought the SG in black, and now every time I look at it I love it, and could care less if theres 50 million in the same color.
Your bike is not ugly at all. And if you like it, that's all that counts.
