I don't get it. 

Agreed. Seems like a lot of extra effort and logistics.

Green with envy???

Makes podunk Euro countries feel special? Since they can't ride 3000 miles and still speak the same language they get the pretty green color.

 

It's just marketing.

Why would you think that people in different countries all prefer the same colors?

I grew up in a Dutch colony.  Every door through out the house was fire engine red.  In our living room, we had a yellow wall, blue wall green wall and a white wall.  Definately not standard "American" colors.

Are you from New York? 

Why don't they just offer all the colors at all the locations?  I wouldn't mind ordering the right color.

Even when they have the same color they don't import all the same accessories.  I bought a 2011 Versys in red and had to get my handguard shells from the UK because the US only ordered black. 

I don't get it. 

+1... agreed. 

Well, a primary color has worked for Harley for how many years?

you're not good in geography, are you?  From where I live, in a 300 miles radius 11 different languages are spoken:
1. German
2. Slovakian
3. Czech
4. Hungarian
5. Slovenian
6. Croatian
7. Bosnian
8. Italian
9. French
10. Czech
11. Luxemburgish

But we've got the fastest colour anyway... BLACK. It's so fast that everybody speaks not only one language, but one word: wow!!!

- me thinks you misunderstood the point there ...

and therefore aren't as good at english.....  lol    I keed, I keed.....

Remember that in some places like the UK and Australia, you can't even get a bike that has a color.

performance knows no color, just enjoy the ride.

If you do go to other country's once there you may see their idea of nice and your idea of nice often are not the same, so the colour thing is a cultural thing also.

See now that's a problem, cause I want a Kawasaki green Concours in my garage!

That green color looks like it was stolen directly from Triumph (which, I have no problem with) so I would think that if anything, that would cause an uproar in the UK...

Nah the UK no one gives a fig, the triumph crowd would be flattered that they had it first

are they this color in  japan?
