Does anyone have "color regret"?
« on: January 04, 2013, 09:01:11 AM »

I know there is only 3 colors to choose from, and they are all sexy!  I bought my black and silver, but the more I see the liquid gold, the more I like it!  I don't have regret in choosing the black and silver....I guess I regret that I can't buy one of each and put them in my living room!

I hear ya- I really like the gold as well, but the red is still the one that stood apart for me (all three are extremely unique color schemes though). 

I know there is only 3 colors to choose from, and they are all sexy!  I bought my black and silver, but the more I see the liquid gold, the more I like it!  I don't have regret in choosing the black and silver....I guess I regret that I can't buy one of each and put them in my living room!

Don't regret the black and silver.  It's the one I would choose if I were buying.   :2vrolijk_21:

I was in the same position before I got my street glide, at first I had the choice of an Inferno Orange/Black Diamond or Kryptonite/Black Diamond both 2011 models, I had seen both in the flesh at separate dealers and choosing was a challenge.

It was a long wait (3 months) for my Inferno to arrive after deciding on the colour, when I got a call my bike had arrived I give the dealer the go ahead to do the pre-delivery, shortly after I got a phone call that the bike crated was Black Diamond and not Inferno Orange so I rolled my deposit over to a 2012 Hot Citrus on the spot.

I went with the Hot Citrus, this was the colour that jumped out at me, however my other bikes are Red and I was doubting my choice, thinking should I have got the Ruby over the Citrus!
I have seen the Ruby in an Ultra Classic before seeing the Hot Citrus and wasn't sure as it was very dark.
When my bike turned up the Citrus was a gem to look at and is a true custom, a colour you don't see every day.

No matter what colour we end up with its unique and a one off production run.

Enjoy and ride safe.

I think Harley created 2 unique paint schemes with the gold and red, and stayed more traditional with the black IMO. All 3 are great and uniquely different.  My preference was the gold which arrives Feb 18th-ish. Woo hoo!!!

If you haven't seen the gold in person yet you will be in awe when you go to get yours. Pictures on the internet truly don't do justice to this bike.

Actually, while I liked the set up of the Breakout, when they first announced it the gold and black colors did nothing for me whatsoever.  When I saw the crimson red on the HD website I wet my pants and forgot who i was for 30 minutes or so   :o  That red frame made me weak in the knees.

When I came to my senses, I called my dealer and lucky for me, they had ordered a red one after seeing it at the dealer show.....the rest is history!

I have my bike at my parents house...I went over there yesterday and took the cover off and just stared....for like 10 minutes.

Don't get me wrong.....the red is nice, but the polished metal part on the gold and black is one of the things that make the bike really unique.  I have yet to see red in person, so I can't really judge.  I'm going to the motorcycle show in Chicago, hopefully all three colors will be on display.

I have to see that seat on the red in person......although, I suppose you could put the black seat on it too.

Who am I kidding....I want one of each!

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.                                 
                                                             The morale of this tale is Love at first sight or Trust your first impression !!

I saw the black and silver and thought, "I have to own that"!  Then the search was on!  I had a line on a gold one, but once I saw black and silver....that was it!  Although....the more I look at the gold one, it wouldn't have been that bad if that was the only one I could find.

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.
