MOB it was nice walking into the dealer that morning to see my bike sitting there waiting all prepped and ready to go with a "sold - do not sit" sign on her. then they wheeled it into the service bay and out the back door for me. The sales man wheeled her out front. She sounded sweet coming around the building.

All you dern newbs, the 08 silver has been proven as the fastest, any 100000 mile bikes in a differant color?  Didnt think so, any of them slow red/black/blue/really silver bikes make 50000 yet?

Proof is in the pudding so to speak, but if you are into bench racing rather then riding it's OK, we understand ;D

Definitely looks like silver is winning.  I'd rather have a blue one to be honest so I added some blue to mine.

Color choice is more about when you bought it....besides it is a long known fact neutron silver is the fastest

Post by: scjaws on May 12, 2011, 12:53:05 PM
I believe that the 09 red is the prettiest.  That said I've an 08 silver, kinda boring, and a 10 blue. The blue isn't bad, but scratches are devastating.

One of these days I'll get up the cash and nerve to take apart the bike and upgrade to either canary yellow or Kawi racing green.  The photoshop pictures I've seen of both of those are freaking sweet.

There was a C14 at the Harley Store In Cheyenne I remember seeing that was, I kid you not, Purple. And not just any purple, but full on Barney purple! Next time I'm in Cheyenne I'll have to take a pic of it if it's still there.

Try to find out the name of the original color-blind owner so we can have him publicly flogged! What an awful thing to do to a defenseless motorcycle!  :'(

Purple and with flames?!?   :doublepuke:

I have to admit, there were some good purple/yellow sport bikes in the 90's like the Joe Camel bikes, but solid purple is too much!

Oh and mine is '08 silver goddamnit!  Hey at least it doesn't show dirt  8)

Looks like the 08 silverdammit color is leading, with the blue in 2nd place...

I'm a little suprised by this since black is represented by both 09's and 11's...  ???

What gives? Any thoughts out there from you guys on the results so far of this poll??

Looks like Silverdammit is still in the lead, and it was only offered for one year, yet even more evidence Silver is the vastly quicker bike 8)  It is so fast the fed gov outlawed Neutron Silver, they did make allowances for the just slightly slower new grayish colored silver to help maintain the C14s image as the most superior SST on the market.

I agree with you, except "Neutron Silver" is actually a shiny light baby blue.  The only real silver is the 2011 silver  :)  No matter how much you wish Neutron Silver WERE silver, damnit, it isn't!  :P
