Default White whats wrong with it?

I have seen a ton of new bikes that you guys have been buying and to tell the truth not many WHITE color bikes at ALL ??
White is so easy to take care of , shows the dirt last out of most colors , especially DARK colors which shows the dirt FIRST.
The new Denim white is so heavy with metallics that it shines in the sun like a diamond.
Just curious guys why no white ? Not A TOUGH GUY COLOR ??
Thanks for your answers.

I'd have a white bike with a quickness, just no RK in white from the dealer. I do like the white like on the Fat Bob.

White paint has grown on me. I used to not care much for it on bikes because every time I saw a white bike coming towards me on the road, I thought it was a highway patrol but now it can look really good to me.

The denim white, on the other hand, looks very feminine to me. I thought I would like it when I saw it on the HD website but in person I was not impressed at all. Maybe it would look good with the new diamond ice collection and a topless woman on it.

Not a darn thing wrong with it. Got it, love it.

Hard to say in the long term though, got my eye on a really sweet Black 2011 FLHTK - Hmmmmmmm

Can't imagine why no one likes them. Harley just don't offer enough of them. There should be a totally white bike in every years paint offering. I love my Glacier/Pearl 05.

I have an 07RK in pearl white. Great color. Easy to see, keeps clean, cool in summer; Harley should offer this color every year. Lots of folks think it is a cop bike (most are black around here) and that at least gives you some relief from tail gating etc. However, I almost caused a crotch rocket to go down just because I was stopped at a light where he was just about to run when he saw me and decided to stop at the last second. Lots of drama but he got it shut down well into the intersection.
