I think I'm one of the few that actually liked the Duracell scheme.

I liked the colors of the 95th Ann bikes. There was a green/cream color I really liked. Initially I liked the black and black/silver of the 100th but as the years have passed, I like the gun metal blue 100th like the one Schu has more.

Repeating the duracell look of just 5 years ago seems kind of stupid though. Is the MoCo fresh out of ideas now?

How original
A pair of wings with a number on it LOL

Really I think they should at least come up with something different every time

The 95th was actually a dark wine color and champangne...they dubbed it as Midnight wine and Champagne Pearl...

even the two silvers from the 90th was also beautiful

The picture of the emblem looks gold and black to me. THe 105th was copper and black, the 100th silver and black. Will just have to wait and see

You're right. My bad. I just remember Moshe K Levy's famous '98 Sporty with the green/cream color scheme. it was a great looking bike. I got the Ann colors mixed up.

Harley is probably the only company that makes a big deal out of an anniversary every ten years. There are too many anniversaries, IMO. It should be every fifty years, perhaps. Every decade is too much and it just dilutes the notion of an anniversary edition being anything unique or special.

Winged logos look cool I guess but I like the simple look of the plain script HD logo on bikes. It does look a bit like the logo the hells angels wear. I guess that means many people will want to buy a jacket with the logo. The hells angels would probably be upset however and I wouldn't want to be near one if I was wearing the jacket with the logo.

Another way to extract even more $$$ from the HD Kool Aid Drinkers....

Meh. It doesn't look like they put much more than a morning's thought into it.

Logo+Wings=Done! Marketing department has rest of day off.

And every five years is too often - every decade maybe.
