1. Street 750

For 2018, Harley's urban landscape carving, the Street family comes in a host of nice complementary colors. But we're big fans of the Street 750's Bonneville Salt Deluxe Pearl treatment, which adds a little grey flair and some pinstriping to the otherwise solid pearlescent white finish. The upgraded look is also available in Wicked Red and Vivid black for the 2018 model year. 

2. Iron 1200

The Iron 1200 is a proper throwback bike in every sense of the word. And thanks to its old school, '70s-inspired graphics and big torquey engine, it's also one of our very favorite offerings in the Sportster family. For 2018, Harley will sell you an Iron 1200 in Twisted Cherry or Billiard White, but we'd personally opt for Vivid Black and those cool old school blue graphics.

3. Forty-Eight Special

Speaking of old school, the blacked-out and sinister Forty-Eight Special is another one of Harley's nods to a different era. The muscular, bulldog stance of this Sportster model also happens to look great adorned in Wicked Red, though you can also get it in Vivid Black or Billiard White.

4. Fat Bob

People seem to either love or hate the new Fat Bob, but we personally love its aggressive, futuristic, post-apocalyptic digs. Which, in our humble opinion, look best when covered in Industrial Gray Denim. After all, you can't really opt for some glossy paint job on a bike like this, can you?

5. Heritage Classic

For those seeking something a little more, well, traditional, there's the Heritage Classic. Well, except for the fact that Harley ditched a lot of the old school chrome for modern blacked out bits. For that reason, we personally like the contrast provided by Silver Fortune. But if you prefer to go all black here, we wouldn't blame you.

6. Road King Special

For those who prefer the modern blacked out look, the Road King Special is right up your alley. And while this thing looks pretty sweet in any available color, we especially dig the military-esque look provided by the unique Olive Gold offering.

7. Road Glide Special

The Road Glide Special is arguably the most aggressive (and coolest looking) touring bike in Harley's lineup. So it should come as no surprise that it just looks right at home in black. Call it uninspired or boring, but we prefer these things to be as dark as possible. Batman would be proud.

8. Street Glide Special

Then again, if your preferences range more toward a hot rod bagger with all the modern tech of a high-end tourer, the Street Glide Special is your ride. And to us, those unique lines lend themselves perfectly to Harley's Twisted Cherry paint.

9. CVO Street Glide

Step up to the big dog of custom tourers, and you'll want to pick a color that makes people take notice. Opt for the killer combo of Dark Alloy and Black Denim, and you won't ever have to worry about rolling up to a crowded parking lot without turning a bunch of heads.

10. CVO Road Glide

If you're the type who logs countless miles on your Harley, few bikes offer a more pleasant experience doing so than the CVO Road Glide. And few look as cool doing it, either, especially if you choose to go with the very attractive hue dubbed Gunship Gray for your personal battleship.
