I went down to the bike shop and had a fit sit on a Black 2014 Honda CB1100.
It's got the black-out paint scheme which reduces shine time and increases riding time. 🙂
Love black on motorcycles, cars and trucks and big rigs.
Yes, they get dirty quick but oh boy, how they reflect and shine—

Oh yes... INDIAN MOTORCYCLE!
The latest entry into the Retro-Modern class of motorcycles
Established 1901, the brand is older than Harley-Davidson. The originals, were very revolutionary in their years and have a cult following that Harley could only dream of. However due to poor management the company folded after WWII in the early '50s. Ironically, Indian was not only a victim of poor management, but also a victim of postwar military Harley post-war surplus. Across the decades since the original company folded, ownership of the name
and it's rights had changed hands with recent attempts to revival of the Indian which proved a failure.
Today, however, a new story may unfold and the Indian will rise again (not to sound like a prophet), and thrive
in the 21st century as Harley Davidson had in the 20th. The company that owns the brand is quite successful in
it's own right with reputably reliable products. - Indian may well make it this time.

I've had my eye on Ridley. Short enough for the height challenged, like me, plus it's automatic and I hate shifting. Maybe I wouldn't tip the thing over on myself....maybe. lol

I dunno anything about bikes and didn't read the banter between you Men on all the details of each one of these bikes BUT.... the Dukati, with the Red. That's the bike right there. It isn't a Harley, mind you, but the Dukati 'll do.

Fixed, I like all of his posted motorcycle candy, but most are too tall and I can't reach the ground while sitting....like there's a good 6" between my foot and the ground. It's part of why I tip them over on myself. I need a short, girly bike. lol

Yes, that's what I said a little earlier, I want a Ridley. They stopped making them in 2009, but plenty used still on the market. I'm on the fence on color. I want black, but I also want ice or sea blue.

Black is ALWAYS a safe color. any color other than black or white can be hard to color-match blemished paint (scratch)
occur.

True. I guess it could be black with small details in blue.
