Red is awesome !!! :-)

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.

Black is everywhere, and its safe, but I'd never hate it, like I'd hate purple, or baby blue.

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.

Black is nice cause you can always add on or pick up parts like a tour pack that color. But I like red hot sunglo. Stays clean longer and it's red.

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...

That's how I picked my color... just subtle enough to be different.
