It comes down to opinion. You like it, f what anyone else thinks. They're not the ones making the payment.

Negative. Yellow does not equal gay. However, black is the only approved color for the He-Man Harley Owners Club. True dat.

Just buy it. And if someone gives you shut about it, just smack em with your European shoulder-bag. JK
I've seen many yellow Harleys that were awesome. And on a few of those was a guy riding that I damn sure wouldn't have used the term "girls color" within ear-shot.

Buy it! Just don't wear fingerless gloves, a bandana, a vest, anything with "Harley Davidson" on it or a NEW leather jacket lest you be labeled and judged.

My brother loves his yellow Fatboy and gets compliments on it all the time. There's also the visibility factor, it's easily seen.
