Default Crimson Red Sunglo versus Red Hot Sunglo?

Greetings,

I was comparing the Crimson Red Sunglo available on a lot of the 08's versus the Red Hot Sunglo available on the 09's. Is it just me or is the Red Hot Sunglo a little darker and doesn't have as much metallic? Most of the people I talk to about it swear it's the same color, just a different name. So, do you see a difference or not?

I've seen both and notice a difference. I like the 2009 version better.

I think the 09 color is a little brighter/less maroon. It seems like it has a little less metal flake too. Both beautiful colors in my opinion.

similar but I didn't think they were the same either?

I'm color-blind so maybe that's why I can't see the subtle difference and that
may be why I prefer the crimson over the red hot.

ALl I know is that I love my '09 SG in the hot red. Lots of compliments, especially on a sunny day.

Both are beautiful colors!!! I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever riding either one up and down Main St. in Daytona during bikeweek this year.
