A passing fancy no doubt that will soon fade.

By the way, the price here is north of $33K Australian. More than twice the price of a CB1100 assuming one could buy a new one.
Could be but I would go for a far better helmet than that pudding bowl.
Here you wouldn't be accepted by the cruiser crowds unless everything you wear, other than blue jeans, is black. Pudding bowls are mandatory for riding Harleys. You can get away with an open face helmet as long as it is black and your cruiser is something other than a Harley.
Dems da rules.

Although I suspect it is the same all over - I lived in the Ottawa valley for 20 years before moving back to NB and it is exactly as you say in both provinces.
I've never been one to adhere to expected stereotypes and have been wearing a modular helmet on my '03 HD Night Train for years now. It just makes sense, if nothing else for bad weather. I also don't hang out at Tim Horton's looking at my bike in the parking lot.
The Indian is a nice looking bike and I'm sure it's well made, just too big and bulky for me.
