Sorry to burst your bubble... you are the victim of Paint Brush. The lighting, edges of her body, and I think she was dead when that year of bike was made. :icon_rolleyes:
Those were just so much more, well, wholesome times. No smut, just good ol' femininity.
PS She died in 2008 so would have been around for when that bike was built..

The US government went after her too , she was just so " girl next door type"
QuoteRare pictures of pinup queen Bettie Page accused of inciting juvenile delinquency in the 1950s to be auctioned off
Decades after they were hidden away when Washington politicians blamed them for corrupting a nation's youth, rare photographs of 50s pinup queen Bettie Page are finally being released for auction.
Page, who maintains a cult following decades after she stopped posing, is still considered a powerful influence on pop icons from Madonna to Katy Perry due to her iconic bangs and appearance in images that celebrated bondage.
While relatively tame by today's standards, McCarthy-era politicians thought the images were contributing to juvenile delinquency and a senate subcommittee investigation into the subject summoned her but never asked her to testify.
Photographer Irving Klaw, credited with creating fetish pinups, was so afraid of repercussions after being called to testify at the hearing that he destroyed roughly 80 per cent of the prints and negatives featuring Page and closed his business.
Luckily Klaw's sister, Paula, hid some away, which are now being offered at auction by Guernsey along with the couple's massive Movie Star News Collection of images of screen icons like Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe, the Daily News reports.
Page retired from modeling, and in later life became a born-again Christian even working for the Rev. Billy Graham at one point. Retreating from the spotlight, in a rare interview in 1993 she was shocked to discover the images were still popular and described herself as 'penniless.
