Some people confuse the terms chick bike and chick magnet.

Chicks bikes are usually deam so because of ride height.

The Sportsters are light and easy to handle: hence chick bikes

The Deluxe is (has been) the lowest seat height of the Softails: hence chick bike

The Street Glide is (has been) the lowest seat height of the Touring models: hence deemed a chick bike by the Ultra Geezer Glide owners.

Colors are colors, you either like them or you don't
and insecure jerks either like them or make fun of them.

i prefer to see chicks on the back of a bike, but if they wanna ride they can ride whichever bike they want. i've seen chicks ridding 2 up on fully loaded ultra classics at some spots out here.

IMO some colors can be more femenine than others, but it all depends on the rider.

Default I have an '09 RKC...

...in Deep Turquoise and Antique White.

I love Turquoise. I say "love" at the risk of sounding "gay."
I like pink. I dress professionally to work most days (suit and tie) and I have a pink dress shirt. I wear it every once in a while. I gotta tie with pink in it (and navy blue...it's a cool tie.) Supposedly, a guy who wears pink isn't worried about his masculinity. I'll buy that, especially if he's hetero and not gay to begin with. Then again, it's not the '80s anymore, so you don't see guys wearing pink polos now.

I said I love turquoise because I love Southwestern colors. In fact, there's an event a a local Harley dealer in Vacaville, CA (Iron Steed) tomorrow and there'll be people painting pin stripes and such. I'll see if they can make the southwestern thing happen with my stock color scheme, you know, turquoise/sandstone/adobe...gettin' closer to pink, oh, no!

I like pink, but I wouldn't buy a pink car and I definitely wouldn't buy a pink bike. The minute somebody said I have a gay bike I'd wanna kick his ***. Now, if he called it a homo bike...where's my .45?
