I think it is great they are marketing to the ladies. I don't have a picture of it but our dealership had a ladies bike all decked out top to bottom in swarovski crystals before Christmas. That thing would blind someone out in full daylight!

They sold one locally already and it wasn't on the show room floor very long.

If we are thinking of the same bike, it's sold (or at least another with "pink" sidewalls). I was there the day they sold it while the new owner was still looking to purchase some matching clothing.

Talking with a friend who works HD parts, these pink-wall tires didn't move the way they'd expected them too and a lot of dealers are sitting on quite a few sets.

Seems like they missed the boat by not doing the typical "proceeds go to Susan G. Koman for the Cure" that most "pink" products carry.

Kinda' hard to defend that whole, "sportster/girl bike" argument now.

There are a few pink things that I love... that bike is not one of them.
