I'm getting ready to buy a new FLHXSE tomorrow.  Each color is in my trade area.  I want to buy the color that will have the best resale value 4 or 5 years from now.  It will be interesting to see what everyone thinks.  Please respond with which color you think will be the most popular in the future.

LOL ... It would devinitely taste better but seriously doubt it would sound better.

Wow, Getting ready to buy a new CVO and already thinking about selling it, thats like remodeling your house to what might sell better even though you have to live with it and dont like it. I assume you are getting a SESG because you want one not because what you think what someone will want in a few years just my opinon. What makes you walk by your ride and say WOW is why I would buy one because what ever you buy you will not get back what you paid for it, so get what you want, ride it, enjoy looking at it and when the time comes, let it go and move on.

If I wanted the information that was in the last post, I would have asked for it.  In my opinion, I like all of the colors that HD has come out with on the 2012 FLHXSE, that's why I asked this question.  This is a poll that I thought would be interesting, not a discussion on my buying motives.

It's called "resale red" for a reason.

Is there any other color?  (sorry Chip...)

If you don't want honest opinions, avoid asking questions.

There is no way anyone can predict for you what color, if any, will be more likely to have a higher resale value five years from now.  If you look at the various used bike pricing guides for the older CVO's, you will notice that they don't even break them out by color when listing trade in values and average retail values.  So your guess is just as good as anyone else's.

I have a question for you.  If the consensus was the Hot Citrus and you really didn't like the Hot Citrus as well as the other two colors, would you really buy it just because some people you don't even know told you it might be worth a few more bucks five years from now?  Seriously?  So if Willy G had decided to make one of the choices a flat black monotone with ugly skulls embedded in the paint, and all of us on the site told you that was the one to buy, you would do it?

It's OK.
Being on the dark side has it's advantages.

I just have to figure out what those advantages are.

Red always seems to sell well no matter what it is on.

Hey Jerry,  I value all opinions, that's the whole point of this discussion.  As I stated earlier, I like all of the color options for the 2012 FLHXSE unlike the Ultra Classic CVO color options that in my opinion all look marginal.  So you can give us "Your Opinion" if you would like on which color you prefer.  How everyone uses the information from this forum is in everyones opinion their own individual business.

  Hot Citrus Orange   and   Antique Gunstock  

I am completely objective!

As the original post states all three are great looking colors. The Black just blends in with the crowd a little to much for me. Black and Red are always stable colors, not color of the month per say like the Hot Citrus. I think Red is a really good way to go, looks awesome, has some flash and will stay in style years to come.
But what do I know I bought the Hot Citrus because I like a lot of flash.

Hey Jerry,  I value all opinions, that's the whole point of this discussion.

After those two statements, we know you have at least two personalities.     You planning to release any others from the lock-up?   

You gonna answer the questions that were asked of you?
