Another "Can't decide on colour" thread

Hi All,

Presently have a 2008 SG in Crimson red

And have never been able to really like it. I like red but the CR red just seems off for some reason.

I originally thought I wanted Amber Whisky but everytime I search the web the AW colour looks either really "light" or almost orange. Realize it's the camera colors that are throwing it off but from one picture to the next it's completely different. In reality is it "light" or "dark"? My dealer doesn't have any in stock so can't go see.

Also, are the reds -M Red Sunglow or Blackened Cayenne - metal flake or candy colors? I think the MRS is almost the same as Crimson red? Dealer has no stock.

I would really like a candy orange SG (like the 2013 RG)- that would be ideal - but that is not available.

Also like the gray but I have a grey car and would like something different.

Yes, I know there's always vivid black but I do like some color on my bikes.

Oh yes, I'm looking at the "S" version.

Thanks all!

Pick a color & deal with it.

I really like my MRS but I've always preferred red motorcycles. It's looks a little darker than your crimson sunglow. It's almost a blood color in the sunlight and turns fairly dark after sunset or on a cloudy day.

I was really impressed with the blackened cayenne as pictures do not do it justice. I was walking through the parking lot at the dealer and saw one in full daylight. Stopped me dead in my tracks.

Unfortunately you will definitely have to see these colors in person before you can decide. Just no way around it...

I'm one of the few that don't care for the Daytona Blue. I really thought I was going to like it until I saw it in person. Way to much glitter in the paint. Looks like something a 10 year old girl would paint on her unicorn for art class.
