No problem purple
When I bought my two-tone red and cream RK last week I was seriously considering this purple RK with a flaming gas tank that was all chromed out. Man I thought it looked great in person. If you like a purple bike, that's your right. Go for it!

Plus one!
Real men don't care what others think, IMHO.
Thank you! Finally! Someone else that gets it. If I ever made a decision about how someone was gonna judge my manhood based on what color I chose to wear, or put on my car, truck, bike etc., that's the day that I'll turn in my man card. I'll wear whatever color I darn well please, thank you.

So, my girl's first bike was a Buell Blast with purple plastics... and butterfly decals on the side.
She did tell me to remove the decals, and had every intention of replacing the plastics. First things first: I had to get it home! So I hopped on, cranked it up, and headed out through town.
At one stoplight, an SUV pulled up next to me. "Mommy, look!" came the voice of little girls in the back seat. They were delighted by my purple bike with butterfly stickers. I nodded and lifted an index finger in greeting.
At the next stoplight, a pickup truck pulled alongside. Its passenger-side window was rolled down, and a hefty-looking construction worker was resting an arm on the edge. I made a brief effort to make-believe the motorcycle wasn't actually purple, or that at least it didn't have butterfly stickers on it, or that I didn't actually exist. The effort was wasted: sure enough, the passenger looked out, leaned over, and smirked.
Again, I nodded and lifted a finger in greeting.
So it went, all the way home. Needless to say, the butterfly decals lasted for all of about two minutes once I got home and my girl could fetch the hair dryer.
If you think a purple bike is something, try putting the butterfly decals on. They're a Lethal Threat staple, and in stock at several of my local motorsports dealers and accessory stores. Grab a set and slap 'em on: I guarantee you, you won't appreciate a purple bike like you will once those stickers come back off.
