Don't be embarrassed because you have a Pista. That's a quality bike with a lot of history to the brand. Just because they're popular doesn't mean you can't like it. I like mine. It's only a noob-badge if you feel like it is. Or maybe that's not why you want to remove them. It seems like everyone I meet with a Pista is embarrassed about having one, though. I was once, until I realized that my bike rules.
