I've noticed women sometimes have more judgement about "manly" colors than men sometimes.

I have heard white cars are feminine. Another told me a medium metallic blue is girlie.

I had a purple Deuce. It was unique. Now the bike is black and it's cool. It's like an established standard. Not too many variations in color of mens leather jackets either.

Technically, so are windshields and saddlebags, lol!

Well I don't knock any color. I actually liked the white and hot pink Fatboy. Now mine is right there with Guitar4Him. With a little black thrown in. See below.

That's probably why my RKC looks so good in Cool Blue Pearl - helluva colour!

One thing to think about....If it is a girlie color...I would rather have women coming up complimenting on the bike color...Than a bunch of biker dudes hanging around it...Girlie colors do have their advantage.

Nice bike. I'd like to have an even lighter blue, what Fender guitars would call "daphne blue" and white, two-tone. Always liked that light blue/white 50's look.
