is there someone whit the same pictures in merlot sunglow
very natural picture,s
better than all others so far on the forum

 

Both good colors, Sedona Orange IMO gets my vote

 

I vote Red Hot Sunglo (ducking!)

I like the Merlot, but don't like purple...so would be tough for me to go with that.
Then again, that orange is a wee bit too bright for these eyes.
Choices!
Good luck.

 

Yes, redhot sunbglo is a great color but not offered in 2011.... and yes the orange is bright....

Still on the fence. Might have to go with plain black if I cant decide.

 

Yeah, I would like to see some more "real life" pics of the Merlot in the sun light.

 

The sunglo is a great color as well! I wish you could see the Sedona for yourself...I bought my RK while I was deployed this past summer....so it was almost a leap of faith for me as I bought the bike color unseen other than what was on the HD website. I had a black VTX before the HD (still have it actually) and no matter how much I tried to take care of it the swirls should up all over the tank......if you can devote the time I agree...black is a stunning color that looks awesome! But this time around it was gonna be something different.

So anyways I ordered the bike in August and did not receive it until November 11th......I arrived back in the States in mid October. I took a trip to the dealer that would be taking delivery of the RK for me to see what it looked like in person (Sedona Orange)....all the had on the floor in that color was a Wide Glide that was Sedona Orange with Black Flames.....when I first looked at the color on the tiny front fender I thought "This can't be the orange" it looks too rusty copper/brown......looked at the tag and yep! Sedona Orange....I was actually a little bummed out! I was thinking it would be brighter than what I saw on the Glide.

So the day came to pickup the bike in November and when they rode it out front in the bright sun I was like 'Wow!" The color REALLY pops in the sun for sure..and in the shade/indoors it is like someone flipped a switch lol

In any event I am more than pleased with my color choice.....when I looked at the Merlot it looked root beer to me...had me fooled until I saw the above pics of it on the SG and seeing how different it looks in the sun


Here is another shade/sun pic gallery












In these 2 pics you can see the diff in color when the sun hits it on the front of the bike vs the rear







Hope this helps a bit...hopefully someone with a Merlot will post some similar pics showing the diff in sun and shade and how that color changes


PD

 

Well, if your not going to consider a BLACK one, then I'll go on a head and vote for the Merlot. Actually, the Merlot was a close second when I bought mine, but something about Black and Chrome.

Good Luck,

Mike

 

Hope these come thru to show the different shades colors of the merlot

 

Port Dawg, you bring up an excellent point, the merlot tends to show dirt and the smallest scratches and swirls in the paint you can really notice it I don't think that would be as much of a problem with the orange.

 

I went with the Sedona Orange, really like the looks with Black.
