My two previous (non-Harley) bikes were black. Black bikes are classic and beautiful, but do show dirt, dust, and swirls/scratches more than most other colors.
When I bought my Road King, I had an appointment to look at a black one, but when I saw that brilliant silver paint in the sun, I knew that was what I wanted. It looks light gray in the garage or a cloudy day, but has metallic flecks that sparkle in the sun. I like shiny things.
For me it would be no hesitation- I would get that 2021 gray bike you posted rather than wait on a black 2022 (assuming the deal was acceptable). I also agree with the person above that mentioned some red pinstripes or accents.
But ultimately it is what will YOU be happy with - if you are set on a black 2022 and know you will be disappointed with anything else, then wait for what you really want.

LMAO, I have seen and met Paul a couple of times. He lives locally and flies out of St. Pete to Newburg NY where he has a small shop and he also recently started OCC Roadhouse here. Restaurant and biker bar kind of gig. He is actually a pretty good guy unlike the "reality show" portrays him to be.
