Barbie Goes Badass: Pink Harley Is a Hit on Reddit

By -

Barbie Harley

The only thing missing is Ken. And maybe a set of tassels on the handlebars.

As a general rule, Harleys are supposed to be, well, manly. There’s a reason why they’re loud, obnoxious, and typically adorned with dark colors, after all. But as we all know, there are plenty of ladyfolk who enjoy their Harley-Davidsons just like the rest of us. Whether they choose to keep it traditionally black or paint it in pink. Either way, we’re more than happy to welcome anyone to this wonderful hobby of ours. No matter what their personal choice of style might look like.

Even if their thing is the most iconic doll ever produced. We spotted what might be the world’s first (and only?) Barbie Harley while surfing around Reddit recently. And we must admit, we were pretty tickled by it. And we weren’t the only ones. The follow- up comments on the post are equally supportive and hilarious.

Now we don’t know if the owner is male or female, but we (and others) are enjoying the little custom touches on this thing.

Touches like the matching pink knife mounted out back. Honestly, we wouldn’t have even noticed it if it wasn’t pointed out to us.

And yes, that is what you think it is near the handlebars.

Really, there’s just one thing missing. Other than Ken riding on the back.

So go ahead and hate on the Barbie Harley if you want. We tend to not take things like this so seriously, and we always appreciate a good laugh. And this thing is a guaranteed bellyacher.
