Browsing for a bike on ebay, (won't post the link as it's not my bike) and someone fairly local to me has a Pink SV for sale. Clearly been some young ladies pride and joy.
Now, it could be the right price, the right area, the right shape, and the right mileage, and tbh, I'm not that fussed about pink as a colour. Indeed, contrast with black and I like it as a look. But does the colour add or detract from the bike in your view? Does it narrow it down to a largely women only market segment? And would I look a total loon on it?

A man that bats for the other team could ride this. anyone else will feel like a **** within 5mins of riding this and the reality has sunk in that your riding a pink bike.
And telling your friends that its salmon and not pink will not make things any better. |

![]() pink is a true mans colour **gets ready to be flamed** lol But in all seriousnous, i agree, it would sink in after 5 mins and then youd probobly feel rather daft. But if you want it, i shant judge. . . Much ![]() |

Well im a girl and I wouldn't want a pink bike!!
But if it was black and pink - being more black than pink then I probably wouldn't mind, if it was a dark pink not a sicky barbie girl pink! Hey but if it goes cheap enough buy it anyway - you can always get it resprayed! ![]() |

Only someone insecure about their sexuality would let a little thing like pink paint put them off the right bike..

Just seen the bike - had to go have a nosey!
![]() For the price and mileage etc etc it looks a cracking bike - I would be very tempted to get it and just get it re-sprayed! |

A barbie pink VRaptor that was recently sold, was bought by a bloke. It didn't last long before it was professionally resprayed bat black.
It was hideous. I could never do that to an SV or to any bike for that matter.

See, the thing is, I quite like it........ But the SV is known as a bike popular with the girls anyway, and I canjust image the disappointment everytime I park up and remove my helmet and break the hearts of all those big hairy bikers thinking a single female biker has just turned up......
Or am I being old fashioned, and there are lots of KTM's, Fireblades and other manly bikes that come in pink that I am unaware of? I think something arty with black stripes would help........ Still, is less likely to be stolen isn't it? |
