Isn't there a superstition with green bikes being bad luck???

In the picture, I think it looks decent.

Oh, I don't know, this one doesn't have a couple of years on it but, it does have 14 months and 35,000 miles and still looks dam good.

Six months ago these were supposed to be the 2021 colours.





I can't find those Blues or oranges anywhere, just a grim stagnant pond green.

I'll circle back around to the title of this thread: Few impressions on the 2021 models. I suppose the key word here is 'impressions', and certainly that's about all you can get from a website or video....at least it is for me. I have to see a specific bike in the paint in order to really judge it for myself. Even those paints I tend to dislike on my monitor screen can leave me feeling differently after seeing them in reality. I'm pretty sure it's that way with the '21s too.

I recall looking at paint when I bought the '17 Limited (below). All the paints were nice but I really couldn't love any of the colors. I played it safe and went with Black Quartz which turned out to be a great decision. Thinking back on it, none of the colors were bad...just not right for my preferences. After a lifetime of nice vehicles, bikes and ATVs I've realized that it takes a certain paint on any given machine to flip a person's switch. We're all unique that way. I remember liking Scorched Orange on a Street Glide....badass awesome color scheme....and then I saw it on a Limited and had a much cooler reaction.

Whoever nixed the bright colors should be fired. A hundred years of great colors available to choose from, and now we have the palette of a clinically depressed artist.

Maybe Harley should call it their "Covid Collection"

I thought the same thing. River Rock Grey is a great looking color. The pics online don't do it justice at all.
