hey I was wondering if the slim is going to be a chick bike like sportsters have unfairly been considered even though they make shitty ladie's bikes because of the weight they carry up top. I mean the bike and not the chicks. it just seems because of the low seat height i guess i've seen a couple chicks riding them and in my opinion much like a bones i think the slim looks more like guys bike just like some cars are more of a guy's car than a chick's.

I think they should ride what ever they want to ride. I see more women with Deluxes, Fatboys and Heritages then I do seeing them ride sportsters.
