We sometimes get the "Harley attitude" towards Japanese bikes (or anything not a Harley for that matter), but no real hostility and certainly not hate. Generally speaking, it's all very friendly.
When I came back to bikes in 1992 it was on a Honda NT650 Hawk.
I noticed right away that Harley riders would not wave back, but over the years this has softened and now it's often the Harley guys who wave first.
Back around 1993/4, I came upon a Harley rider broken down by the side of the road. I stopped and offered to give him a lift to the nearest telephone, but he declined.
I guess he would rather be stuck on the side of the road than be seen on a Japanese bike
