Yes in a way bikes are chick magnets, but depending on what kind of bike and what kind of chick.

Edit:

Hell, yes. I had a Yamaha Virago in college. Gave rides to chicks all the time. Great conversation starter, too 🙂

I've never had a chick in my life and now I've had 4...

Just messing.

I do notice that chicks always look over or turn their heads when they're in their cars. Also every chick I know has asked for a ride. Not to mention all the instances where chicks are like boys on bikes are hot...

I've done this. There's nothing that makes you feel better after a fight with your girl than getting on your bike and opening it up on a summer evening.
 
it wont be a chick magnet if you get it just for that reason.

there was this guy in front of bestbuy a few weeks ago... yellow 748... yellow jacket... he sat on his bike right in FRONT of the entrance... talking on his cellphone with his headlights on... 😕
 
Any object that attracts women is going to attract women that are shallow and materialistic.

I prefer to beat them over the head and drag them back to my cave.

So if I give a 2 year old kid a puppy and take him to the park on my motorcycle, am I in for sure? 😀

Actually put them on a bike and it'd be perfect

I like your thinking.

Might be too powerful though.

No, the chicks wil end up leaving with the 2 year old with the puppy and the bike.
