I'm looking at a white Dyna Low Rider to purchase. Just wondering if most riders think white is a "Chick Bike"?

If you are considering not buying the bike because you are afraid other people might think it is not manly enough, , and you felt like asking about it, then you should not buy it. You should go find the blackest bike with the flattest paint job and the highest ape hangers so that people won't make you feel bad about yourself. And put some skulls on it.


Now, for real, I like white a lot on smallish bikes. I think white or silver looks great on bikes like sportsters and maybe on a dyna. BUt usually, I think that white is too much on a big tank. But that's completely subjective.

White bikes look good, don't worry about it. Remember this, any new Harley can be black.

White is beautiful.
Plus a hell of a lot easier to keep clean and doesn't show the fine scratches it is bound to get over the years.
