Black or Blue? : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

Huck Finn · 10-23-2005, 10:14 PM

I'm considering buying a paint set -- gotta choice of black or blue (similar to the blue bike on this forum's banner). Personally I like the blue a little more but am wondering if the black would make it easier to sell my bike when it comes to that time. Any opinions?

Thanks.

Can't go wrong with a black motorcycle.

I own a blue bike. but black always with a harley is the color of choice. I buy to keep, ride and enjoy, not to sell.

dunno how many times this question has been asked...(kinda like what's a FNG)...and the only answer is a question: is there any other color than black?

I always said "there is only one thing better than a black harley----two black harley's" I bought a "BLUE" one and I like it. I feel that I have a little color in my life.

OK, here's my standard answer;
If semen stains are going to be an issue, follow Monica Lewinski's lead and go with blue. They say that blue dress looked just fine with presidue on it.

Everybody knows that black bikes are faster.

Here's a technical discussion on how color affects speed: http://www.v-twinforum.com/forums/sh...161#post582161

Don't worry about what other people think, get what you like.

Could that possibly involve flames too...

I have a blue/white bike now but not a day goes by that I don't think about my Vivid Black Sporty. But it also depends on the bike I think. Some look better two-tone, some white, some black, etc.

I debated between the blue/white, black/white, and solid black on my Deluxe. My friend that has a 81 Sturgis which is black, told me to remember that black never goes out of style. So I was going to get the solid black Deluxe until I saw the black/white in person and that's what I ended up with.
