Changing the name of the color of my bike to...

I bought the Ebony Metallic color. Great color, in my opinion, with a terrible name. People see my bike in the sun and say, "Ooo, cool color! What is that?" I reply, "Ebony Metallic." and then say, "Oh, okay, I guess."


So as of late when I get the question, "Cool color - what is is?", I reply, "Black Cherry!" and they all say, "Sweet! That's awesome!"


Try it. Black Cherry Metallic also works.

I tried "Dark Cherry" today and received better (?) response.
Mind you, it could have been because the bike was clean, well reasonably.
I'm now going to use Black Cherry in future.

my local dealer had the ebony black for addition discount since it was a demo, but it was sold the day before i got there.... when i saw the bike, the color looked "Cherry Black" to me..... it had that deep redish tint in the background....
