I bought my R6 because I wanted it, and at that point didn't really want to ever get rid of it. Damn I miss that bike.
But I think she should make the bike hers and enjoy it.

That's where I'm at... Obviously, I'm not against going all out to make a bike "unique"...
I'm with you, who's trying to sell it? besides, we live in a college town that is over 60% women so the odds of selling a pink bike are much higher here if she ever decides to. Plus we have a large black population, most of which are female and quite a few black female bike riders (a black girl bought her old bike), whom would be likely to appreciate a pink bike. Lastly, she only wants to paint parts that are easily and cheaply replaced... heck, I can get the rims for about $200.
I have her talked into starting slow on the pink and focusing on learning to ride the bike first. I'm very concerned because she has developed some nasty "250 habits" which I need to address!!!
