My dad just bought a motorcycle so I'm thinking of getting him a gift based on that. I don't really know what to get him though!

Is money a factor? How about a helmet with his name on it.

A gift certificate to a tattoo parlor, or a strip club. Maybe a switch blade. How about a subscription to Easy Rider?
Some sun screen, or chap stik.
Nice gloves, riding glasses or a thermal undershirt.
A membership in the J+P gold club( discounts on mail order parts)
Or a Road Bell ( it's sort of the equivalent of a rabbits foot for the motorcycle) a good luck charm.
Any or all of the above would be just fine by me.

Gift certificate is best bet, 'cause there are a lot of accessories out there and he's probably already got a few things on order.
Now, aside from riding gear and bike accessories,
One thing not mention already...picture frame (motorcycle themed) so he can have a picture of himself and his ride sitting where he can see it. Even a camera to take pictures when he goes on trips.
Another thing not mention that's always appreciated--a brand specific motorcycle manual--usually ordered from dealer that sells bike. He might not want to do the maintenance himself, but he does want to know if its done right.

Saddlebags, good pair of riding gloves, a custom license plate cover, or just go down to the motorcycle shop and look around if nothing else a gift certificate for the shop :-)

Depends how much you want to spend and what kind of bike it is.
Cheap - small key chain tire gage
Expensive - nice motorcycle jacket or rain suit.
If you don't know, get a gift certificate for the dealership that carries his bike brand.
Harley Davidson, honda, suzuki ect.
A good set of leather gloves are always nice, Bike branded T-shirts are always good too.

You should check out those novelty miniature model car/motorcycle store. They have all varieties of motorcycles that make it very cute to put in the office as a paper weight. Good Luck!

Go to the dealer for the brand he bought and take a look at what accessories they have. A subscription to Rider magazine ain't a bad idea either.

Saddlebags
Helmet
Chrome accessories
Leather Jacket
Gloves
Bandana
Good boots
Anything with the emblem of the bike he got, like if it's Harley go to a Harley store and look around. They have a million things.

Don't forget that there is always a last resort.
A neck tie. If you find one with a motorcycle theme, that's great.
It's not that Dads love neckties, it's that we love presents from our kids no matter what they are. My Dad got hats.

Buy him a subscription to the owners club for his make.
Buy a subscription to a motorcycle magazine.
Find out what bolt on goodies can be had for it and then buy him something useful and perhaps unusual.
