Based in Milano and Birmingham, Black Douglas Motorcycle Co. thrives on the philosophy that steel is more beautiful than plastic and that simplicity is more appealing than complexity. Speed does not necessarily mean fun, and riding a motorcycle should be a break, not a continuation of the stressful moments of our days. A motorcycle should make you smile from the very moment you open your garage door and see your machine for the first time that day, when you sit on it, when you first start the engine. And if you’re like us, if you still have the child in you, you probably like to watch you own reflection on a shop window while you wait for the green light, sitting on your motorcycle.
