Silvia is drop dead gorgeous, and I don't think she's over the top at all, very classy looking and just the right amount of flair, never seen anything quite like her so unique and elegant  :coolblue:

Well, I traded my 2011 CVO SG for the Orange/Blue/Purple, violet one last Saturday. Only put 350 miles on it so far. Never thought I would buy an orange/blue bike, but I really like the color. Got a lot of compliments so far or maybe my buds are just being kind to a crazy old man. No matter, I like it. I swear it sits lower than my 2011 did. Not a problem, but I am a bit perplexed. Took me a while to figure out all the controls and options. My only complaint is the speakers don't seem as loud as ones on my RG.

thanks for all the responses. I certainly agree with get what you want and it has to really pop. everyone sees these colors differently and some have very good opinions and thoughts that I and others may not have thought of.  All that being said, I am still undecided.  The silver is great from 10 yards, but up close it is alot and I am not sure if I can live with it long term.  The blue has purple hue in it and the orange stands out alot as a contrast.  They both are very nice, I just need to see them live.  More to come for sure.  For those who have them congrats, they are both sweet.

I went to the York open house was able to see all four of them in the sun at the demo lot...watched them ride in and out for hours.

Throughout the day...it was the yellow and black that seemed to always catch my eye.  I am not a fan of yellow but the black flame with the red accent just pops....both up close and a far.

The black and gold dust to me look the best up close.  The ghost flames just look cool.  But from a far it look like a plane shiny black bagger and to me it seem to be missing the gas tank badge.

The Hard Candy is just beautiful....the depth of the metal flake amazing.  But from a far is seem blend to silverish-white.

The Blue/Lava was one that I kept falling in and out of.  The orange flame pops like they are on fire and look great against the blue.  Not sure what is was...could be the clash with the granite motor...not sure.

The Yellow/black and Black/gold dust have a some what blacked out motor with black crash bars, handle bars and muffler tips.

The Blue/lava and Hard Candy have the granite motor and chrome trim.

I would be pleased as punch to have any of these in my garage.

I saw the blue today. It is really quite nice.  Much better than all the pics show.  The orange has a nice bit of sparkle to it and the blue is great.  I say that the blue has some black in it and yet a hint of purple.  In the shade it shows the black and in the sun the purple.  That being said it really isn't purple.  the overall color has a violet tint to it.

I definitely like the Hard Candy best, but I'd like it a lot more if it had the black engine and accents and contrast-cut wheels.

Hi all,

I have been trying to decide what color to go with for a 2015 SG CVO.  I want a color that pops, but not over the top.  I like the silver, but feel that the flake may be a little too much. I also like some color and the silver/black may be a bit monotone.

I also like the blue, but don't want it to look too purple.

The reviews thus far is that both colors look great and folks that have bought them really like their selection.  so what is your opinion?

You can't look at them in the photos to decide... you need to see them in the flesh and out in the sun to compare...  Which one makes you look back a second or third time?  What color inspires you to caress the bike?

And no need to do a poll on this... it is not what we like but what YOU like...  :2vrolijk_21:

Be sure to post photos when you get it.

After reading your posts I'm not sure you'd be happy with the silver in the long run. I voted blue and as usual I'm in the minority. Both are great looking bikes. Good luck.
