I like the casting of the Honda's wheels, above. Pity someone went mad with the tin of black paint, would have quite a retro feel, without being overtly so, otherwise.
Has anyone got an answer why modern bikes are black, matt black? Following fashion more keenly than a teenager?
Going to look awful after scratches, peeling, discolouration, staining, and embedded dirt. Probably look awful to beholders once this fashion wanes. Riding black akin to wearing tank top and flares.
Still, Henry Ford must be pleased.
