Yeah, it is funny, but this bike draws A LOT of attention. I have had Aprilia, Buell, some antique bikes and other "oddball" stuff... I don't think any have drawn the attention that this bike has drawn. Not police, not even bike people. I think the Honda "CB" bike looks something like the Platonic "motorcycle" that exists in everyone's mind. I had this conversation this morning...
Me: "Welcome back, hope you had a nice trip!"
Neighbor: "It was fun, but long. What's new?"
Me: "I got new bike."
Neighbor: "Yeah... wow. It's cool...
(looking down)
...it's like, wow, a work of art. Really pretty. You could park it inside."
Me: "Thanks, I think it's pretty fun."
More banter occurs, none worth reporting.
