got a sportster in black denim. it was really nice at first. cleaned it with windex and it always looked great. then i started riding a lot and paint wore poorly. any tiny scratch will show up as an ugly white mark that doesn't buff out. a friend has the same bike that has been used and abused and where his legs and belly rubbed on the tank there was a slight buffing effect. looks very bad now. if you are very careful and baby your bike, you'll be fine for a long time. if you are not so nice to your bike, the paint is unforgiving. i will never have a denim bike again.

I went back and forth between Black Denim and one of the red colors, as you can see from my sig pic, I got neither, ended up with vivid black. When its shined up, I looks sooooo good, but in hind sight, I should have done the denim instead, the Vivid id a PITA to keep looking "showroom" new.
