I agree black is a safe color for a HD, never gets old and always looks good. On the other hand they are everywhere and part of the HD experience is making it stand out and personalize it. I went with Charcoal Pearl to be different without being to loud. The Merlot looks good in the sun but I'm not a big fan of red Harley's.
Had a Blue Harley (Peace Officer Special) and Pearl White Gold Harley and now a Midnight Pearl Black..........I like this one the most. Yea it shows dust pretty quickly but like everyone's said Black and Chrome look great. I do like the new Whiskey SG. If I was buying a new SG...I'd order that color.
I got this color (see sig) because it really looked great and wasn't black. Tired of black for me, but a nice clean, shiny, black bike (or car) looks great.
The one and only time black looks great is before it leaves the showroom floor. Nothing wrong with it for those that prefer detailing it over riding it, or just ignoring the finish altogether. Black is timeless, there's no denying it. But it was time for a change this time around. I liked a few colors this year, but the amber whiskey called my name when I saw it out in the sunlight. Different strokes...
