    Go to facebook marketplace and type "red harley"

    Harleys have always trended to orange and black, but $$$ can make any bike any color you want.

    They can do a dealer swap and find you your color of choice …. Pick your bike ( Road King, Street Glide, Road Glide ) and then pick your color online on the HD website - have them find you your new bike.

    If you're cross-shopping a Triumph and a Harley, you don't really want a Harley.

    Mike has the right answer: you can order almost all of the current lineup in some form of red, and I'd bet a bit of extra cash could get you a paint-to-color option (factory or dealer).

    Are you really looking at this, or is this just the sailboat du jour? I live a few miles from the local dealer if you're really serious and happy to go look at the inventory for you.

    It's a long story, but I could have brought my local dealership in the late '90s for $600,000. Stupid me. My problem is though is the new Harleys are ugly. I don't do ugly.

    Then stop looking at them and look at something you like.
    The world is full of great motorcycles and you are obsessed with trashing Harleys. We got it a long time ago. You don't like them. Lets move on already. You have become very predictable and a bore.

    I remember when Harleys, particularly Road Kings, looked cool. Why is everything the color of baby **** today?

    Every model year they come up with a new palette. Sometimes its good, most times its not. Once in a while they hit one out of the park.

    Right now they are stuck on stupid but that true on the model line up too.

    Stick to 4 wheels. You will probably fall over on 2 wheels in the parking lot and break your hip.

    I got really tired of Willie Gs influence but the evolution after his departure has landed them in a ditch. They need to go to biker events and find someone who rides, has too greasy jeans and graduated from the Art Center College of Design. This **** is a disaster.

    I pay them no attention. I am half German and have zero affinity for their art and culture.

    What they really need is to fire Herman the German and become an American company again.

    They have become ugly motorcycles and its not just the color. Zero cool factor. I couldn't ride one.

    And they gain weight faster than a baby elephant. One of their crimes was they built the best hooligan motorcycle known to man and never made a street version. The XR750. If I was in charge I'd tell my design team to get the touring models down to 700 lbs wet. And a street fighter type or Low rider under 550 and it better look like something Margo Robbie wants to rub her naked body all over it.

    Herman the German will never get there. If its up to him they'll all be electric in 4 years.

    They need to tape Herman the German to a chair in a dark room. Tape his eyelids open and make him watch Steve McQueen movies for an entire week.

    I have 66,000 miles on my Roadking and it’s been in 17 States ( I think ) - windshield off or on - town or highway - it’s a great bike.
