Not a chick color. Very nice looking bike and it will be different than all the other same colors out there. I like it.

Is your masculinity so sensitive that you are worried what someone else thinks of the color?

You like the bike, you like the color. Buy it.

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.

Have fun!!

If you're concerned it's a chick bike color and need to ask, then maybe you're not manly enough to ride it.
