Start them young (yes i know its a toy)

how do people with 2 X chromosomes feel about these displays of the color pink.

I'm 100% indifferent to the issue of the color pink. I think the best looking pink in the bunch was in the second photo -
magenta is always better than Peptol Bismol. Beyond that, pink isn't a favorite color of mine, nor do I hate it.
It's just a color, but apparently some gals like it a lot.

Cheers,

I quite like the first one. I could get a black jacket and pants and a pink helmet to go with the bike.
However, since I have no money, I will keep my pretty blue one.

I think they're very nice looking bikes. Although personally, I think I'll stick to a pink jacket or accessories and ride a black bike. I like pink, but not on my bike, but good for those who do like it.

Some people think green is a bad colour for a bike. It's all about personal preference. My red and white bike is loved by some, hated by others, all black is the choice of many. Give up on slamming people for their choice of colour. :roll:

I dislike pink... I think it has something to do with the fact that my gran used to buy me pink stuff as a kid in an effort to make me more 'girly' :?

Then again she never bought me a pink motorcycle... if she had, I might've liked the colour a bit more ;)

I positively LOVE pink! It is probably my favorite color, or at least one of my top three. My bike is actually a dark hunter green (I think Yamaha calls it Camelia Green, which sounds much prettier than it really is). I got it for it's practicality and functionality, not its looks. But someday I'll get a new, pretty bike that is all girly'd out and I will be damn proud of it!!!

Ride safely,
