Sorry, bud. :neener:

Hey cayuse, not really because the Sportster is not really a Harley... Remember? :lol:

WW, I think is the Suzuki the one with the orange/black combination... But I don't know, I kinda like it... Are you gonna tell me that you don't like Pirates of the Caribbean??? :lol: :neener:

For now, I'm just gonna wait until is sunny enough to test drive both bikes again (and perhaps others too) and finally try to make a decision...
Anyways, thanks for your replies guys... Appreciate it... :2tup:

Just for the heck of it, if anyone's interested, there's a guy here on the local CL trying to sell a brand new red Vulcan 500 with 61 miles on it (bought it new, then chickened out about motorcycles- can't master shifting he says). He's down to asking $3750 now from originally $4750, and I bet he would even take less as he's had it on there for many, many months now with no takers.

I know this is an old post, but it reminded me that most Harleys are orange/black. Today I spotted a new roadster in a beautiful shade of mid blue. It really did the bike justice, & made it stand out. Anybody know if this is a new Harley colour, or has it been around in America for some time, as I've not seen this colour before, over here.

That Vulcan 500 I mentioned above is now down to $3475 - sounds like a good price if anyone's interested. (on Tallahassee CL).

Alantf. Take a walk through a couple large H-D shops and the black/orange is not that noticeable. H-D probably has the largest variety of colors and trims accents on the market. Also their paint is second to none as you have no doubt noticed.

That explains it. Over here there's just one Harley shop, & it's not that big. Seems like all their bikes are black or orange. Must be the way they order them. We just have to buy what bikes the dealers offer.
