It's designed to phade like jeans.... hence the denim name.

A concern I had with it was the possibility of uneven phade. Say phor example you park your bike at work in the same space everyday. It will be exposed to the sunlight in the same places everyday. It would be possible phor one side of the bike to phade phaster then another, giving you an uneven color.

 

Another concern I had was what if you lay it down and have to replace a fender or tank. Your bike won't match anymore.

 

For what it's worth, there will actually be a blue denim color for '07. I'm not sure what specific models it will be available for though. (My dealer showed me the '07 color charts but there was no model information included.)

 

In AZ it doesn't take long for the sun to fade stuff out. For example, my arms were only in the sun a few hours last weekend on a ride and now they are peeling

I saw the black denim bob in Austin TX and the sales guy said the paint will fade and wear where you touch it, like a pair of jeans and that will cause a 'pantina'
O.K. fine, Then the sales guy in Phoeniz used the same quote. Now I have been around for almost half a century and have never heard anyone use the word 'pantina' to describe anything even remotley Harley-like. And then two in a month?! Moco must have told them to use the term in thier monthly sales-dude handout or something.

 

I have had a denim black 'Bob' since Sept. '05 and have experienced no fading and ride it 3x a week. I know it will eventually fade or wear but it seems to be durable.
