Best color for 2018....they should have brought back the 2000 Maroon and Red with the SE eagle on the fairing!   Now that would have been the color!!! 

Or done that similar concept on the gunship gray with a black SE eagle!

That could've looked very cool.  If done right that might even have distracted me from all things dark red.

A 'Sold' Orange Lava on the floor today at my dealer. Another Lava in the traveling demo ride herd also, so I got to see it in the sun. Very nice color, lots of chrome. Chrome on the contrast wheels looks good. 21" should be seen in person to appreciate. Love the size and shape of the new foot boards. Lava was my early choice...did not like the solid Gray at all initially. Handed the keys to the SG over Sept 5....

Hopefully my Gunship delivers late Nov-early Dec.

Noharley, sounds like "minds can be changed"  when you see them up close.  Let the excitement build. Then keep us posted.

Of all the new colors, the one I didn’t like at first was the Gunship Gray.  Cool color, I thought, but not very CVO-ey.  But the more I looked at it, well...

Guess what ended up in my driveway?  Gunship Gray.

It’s probably gonna have people who love it and people who hate it...but only one opinion matters - yours.  (Or mine, well, whoever buys it...you know what I mean).  ;D

Look at them a few times, your opinion might change.

UUNetBill,

Same thing I thought.  Hated the Gunship gray when I first saw the unveiling and pictures.  Saw it in person and bought it.

I have had lots of positive comments on this bike.  Only my 12 Skunk receive more positive comments.

I looked at that Lava Orange and love it but told the dealer, this is the bike that deserved the BLACKOUT treatment. He said they needed one in chrome for the diehards.

Bet it will look TOP NOTCH.

Speaking of blacked out, this is by far the best color! Of coarse I may be a little biased. LMAO

I bought the lava orange. I personally can’t get over the black. I guess I’m a die hard like mentioned earlier in the thread.

Don't let that distract you from the fact that In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The  A-Team.

I do believe that Gunship Grey is best.  May be a bit biased.

I concur...best color since the '09 Electric Orange SE Shark.

...also biased but it do draw a crowd during every stop.
