Denim Black in my opinion. I have it.

If you scratch Denim Black, it can not be buffed or polished out. Vivid Black can. I use Windex to clean my denim black and she still looks new.

I agree with Vet though!

I love the look of the denim. So sweet looking.

IMHO I've been getting a bit tired of the denim black. The vivid black is a classic color that will never look dated. I also like the way gloss black looks. But don't tell that to my little redhead. lol

If you like riding more than cleaning go denim black. way easier to keep clean. I owned both and I'm planning to go back to the denim finish. That vivid black shows every damm swirl mark and finger print.

My '09 Fatbob is denim black and it has held up perfectly. Needs no cleaning to speak of either. Wipe down with a damp rag maybe 2x a year? Still looks new.

That said vivid is more timeless. Denim is definitely a phase...although I guess I'm still in it...don't like shiny things that much. Works for me.
