Question Yellow Harleys

Okay my friends, I have to ask, as I'm considering trading for a yellow EGUL. Is there any stigma or bad association with yellow Harleys? I don't see many and I was wondering if it's like the "rainbow", an indication of something.

I've never heard of any stigmas. I know Sonny Barger had a yellow bike at one point (I can't remember what it was) so it definitely isn't a "poser color" if that's what you're asking. I've seen some down right sexy bikes in yellow to be honest. In the end it's your bike. **** what anybody else thinks.

Dont know of any stigmas, but my neighbor had a really sweet 04 Road King Custom in a metal flake (not sure of the color name) yellow and it was nice. Screw what anyone else thinks if you like it, go for it.

Thanks to all for your answers. I do like the yellow, particularly since they are not that common. Just didn't want to find out later that there was a particular reason that they aren't common.

Probably an added safety factor with bright yellow.
