You wanna stand out from the crowd? Buy the orange.
You want to blend in with all the others? Buy the black.

I am looking forward to seeing the orange in person. You need to get what you like.

I saw the orange in the sun - Incredible!! My wife and I are looking at one too. First time she's fallen so hard for one color.

If my bike was near stock, like maybe a Stage I and pipes, I would already have traded for a Sedona Orange Road Glide Custom. No doubt.

That way I could get out of this damn blackout addiction... (sig pic not current)

The fact that you are asking the question tells me go black. Colors are all about emotion and grab you from the get go. If not you'll always question it.

Now for me personally I have already said in other threads that Sedona Orange is the only color that has made me say . I have vivid black and I am still emotionally tied to it, but it takes a lot of care. My wife's Pearl Black always looks great and really doesn't take the cleaning effort of the the vivid black. I know the Sedona Orange won't take half effort to keep it looking top notch and in the sun it has that it factor.

Go with the Orange, everyone KNOWS that Black just collects dust and slows you down. If you want to stand out then go Orange.

i saw the sedona orange on a road king on the dealers showroom floor last friday. to me it looked more like a brown metallic. but i bet that color pops in the sun. my black streetglide is a pain in the *** to keep clean and looking sharp, but there ain't nothin' like a black harley with loads of chrome. the choice is yours though, it's your money, and you're the one is going to own it, so you make the call. doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I thought the Sedona Orange was really going to "knock my socks off" after seeing it on-line. But once I seen it in person (2011 RG Ultra)... it didn't do anything for me. I thought when I bought my 2010 I had to have Red Hot Sunglow, but didn't want to wait 3 months to get it. So, I bought the Vivid Black bike on the floor. I'm soooo glad I bought the Vivid Black. Everything, and I mean everything goes with the black bike. You want chrome, black cant be beat! You want to "murder it black" ...the black bike is mandatory. You want to go "contrast cut"... nothing looks better than the black bike with the machined contrast cut parts. Not to mention, if you buy an Orange motorcycle (or blue, purple, yellow, brown)... you have to live with it for a long time. Vivid Black... no regrets! But hey, dont get me wrong. The colored bikes are pretty

i got tired of black and keeping it clean everyday and i mean everyday i was out there cleaning and polishing. to each is own but for me it was time when i seen the sedona orange. i have always loved black and still do but i got no one to clean it but me. and with a bum back and 2 bad knees and no will clean it the way i do anyway. so at 56 years old i thought it was time.
