First, if you love the bike and the color then that is all that matters. Based on the pic I don't think it looks like a chick bike.
Its funny when I first started getting into bikes, ppl would say Sportsters are chick bikes.... then they said Dynas are for chicks.... then they said Softail deluxe bikes are for chicks... Does Harley make anything for guys ??? LOL
Ditto I've seen women on every type of HD there is. I guess we all ride Chick Bikes ,.
Not at all a feminine color...it just goes for a more retro effect in IMHO. Even the crazy bright Turquoise-ish color are just "another" look. Hey, you can always paint it...do whatever to it.
If YOU like it, do not be worried that anyone will judge ya man...just enjoy it and make it your own. I think you're more likely to be scoffed at when you're one of the RUBS rolling out on weekends from the 'burbs wearing full leathers with the tags on em practically and covered with HD logos...now THAT is just silly looking to me. But it's what today's MoCo is after for sure (ring that retail register!)...but that's just me.
