Most harley riders I run into know what I'm riding.Last time one got off his bike next to my 12R and yelled 'bitchin!' he loved it ,wich amazed me.
People can't beleive there's a 1203 in my girls scg either!
Weather people recognize these bikes or not-they always catch alot of attention.
Lawdog-props to you for being an individual in your area-and riding a REAL bike! ;)
