If I didn't get a say in the matter and there was one left I would have taken whichever color was available and not had any regrets about it.

MHO is HD did a fantastic job with all three colors, and you can't go wrong with any selection, But for me the Candy Gold / Liquid Sun, pushed me over the top. And no I certainly have not regretted the selection.

'01 FXDWG2, the Red was the only color for me, as the poster says:
 "Cars have to be upside down and on fire to get this much attention"

'05 FLHTCSE2, I originally wanted an '04 O/B or the '05 Teal but ended up getting the '05 Crimson and even though the Crimson seems to be the most prevalent color I really like it! (The '05 is still my favorite all around bike of all I have ever owned or ridden!!) (don't tell the folks on the RGF LOL!!)

'09 FLTRSE3' I originally wanted the O/B (I have an '04 F-250 HD O/B) but the Electric Orange had pearl in it and (to me) didn't match like the '00 O/B did. A friend of mine offered to sell me his '00 for $18k in '04 (still kicking myself over that one!!) I got the Yellow and REALLY LOVE THE COLOR! To me the Yellow looks a whole lot better in person, the pics don't do it justice when the flake changes color in the sunlight.

These are just my personal observations on the bikes I choose to own. The MoCo has continued to amaze me over the years on the paint schemes they come up with on production bikes. I personally prefer a lot of the HD paint over many of the custom jobs I have seen.

It will be interesting to see what paint schemes come to play in the next 2-3 generations...

When i first saw a picture of the Breakout it was in gold and i was smitten, but when i discussed the idea of getting one, friends said "great bike but crap colour" i was so much in the minority that i looked again at the alternative colours. So i put down my deposit on a black and silver one. I did not go for the red as i have had a lot of red bikes in the past  [although they say red is the fastest coulor ] I then had two weeks of craziness and I was obsessed and must have asked at least 100 people there opinion.  I then came to the conclusion that "what the hell its me thats going to be riding it ".  The next day i went to the Harley dealer and changed my order for a gold one.  I was  still not one hundred percent sure of my decision until three months later when i set my eyes on a gold one at a bike show.  I just stood  there with a "goofy"  look on my face much like the one I suspect  Nicky Pass had on his when he was in his parents garage.  I have been waiting for this bike to arrive for three months now looking back it seems much .........much.....longer only another  one or two months  to go but one things for sure I have got the colour right for me.

Or who gives a sh!t what other people think about your choice of bike color. SOme people give me grief over my yellow bike... I guess that's why they come in black, for those who prefer plain.

Assuming there is a next generation.

Most CVO's run 3 years it seems.  That would be a lot better than the MoCo introducing a non CVO Breakout to the masses next year.
