the tape is mostly to cover up the pink but I get your point.
you're damned if you do and damned if you don't in that sense though, some will see the bike think it's a POS and move on to something more worthwhile, others will see it, agree it looks like a POS but fool themselves into thinking it's really valuable. at least if they fall into the second category and they do nick it they'll be disappointed if they bother to take the tape off and find that it really was a POS all along.
