I think its a very pretty motorcycle. Funny thing is, I didn't even notice the wheels were bronze, and that's the crux of the matter. Paint, tank badges, wheel color - none of that is the 'meat' of the motorcycle or motorcycling. I've ridden for quite a few years and still recall how excited folks were about the CB750 when it came out - 4 cylinders, disc brake, ran like a top, didn't leak oil, 120 mph! Same for the 500 Kawasaki - 3 cylinders, low price, ran like stink in a straight line. No one cared what color they were. The same thing when I bought my 2014 Ultra Limited - the Rushmore luggage, GPS, water cooled heads. The fact that it was also black & grey with a pin stripe - who cares?

 

I agree that tank badge is on fire, but I still love the 115th, that was peak badge IMO.

 

This picture looks like a rendering to me. I have to go pick up a part tomorrow, If they have one in stock I'll either come back here with photo's or ride one home.

 

The paint looks fantastic, but those accents on the seat look horrible. JMHO.

 

I'm not a fan of all the gold, especially the gold wheels. Never been a fan of gold wheels. I almost picked up a Ducati Cafe Racer a few years ago. The one thing that stopped me was it was black/gold with gold wheels. Couldn't do it and wasn't going to spend the coin to get rid of the wheels.

 

Welcome back to the 1980s Harley....

 

IMO the 100th Anniversary paint scheme and emblem was the last really good one HD has done. The gigantic bronze/gold emblem for this year are a big turn off for me plus I've never liked red and black bike. It is still better than that atrocious 105th gold paint set but I'll save final judgement until I see it in person..

 

Yep…way to go Harley. LMAO

 

Yeah, that Goldwing Red is pretty sweet. At least it's paying homage to the king of touring bikes.

 

Love the color, but those atrocious red seat and bag panels have to go.
