    I like all bikes, I guess that makes me abnormal.

    I too like all bikes both big and small. I rode BMW's as my long distance ride all through the 1970's and into the 1980's. I moved on when the only reasonably close dealer went under. Today I no longer have enough or the right kind of attitude to own a BMW. You meet the nicest people on a Honda is still true.

    Why are so many BMW & h-d riders such dicks about this whole thing? They are so serious! It's just enjoying motorcycles for crying out loud. I ride more in a month than most of these know-it-alls ride in a year , I just listen to em, then keep riding my way as I have for 40 plus years. Y'all ride safe!

    Because they buy into the caché of the brand....and they're dicks!

    Scoping out a GW meet someone asked if this was the new "wing" I said yes it is. A third party stepped into the conversation and said it's the ladies version.

    But a lot more say it's "some sic sh1t"

    I was pleasantly surprised after I got my recent Sportster when a few of my HD friends said, "You didn't get rid of the Honda did you? That's a cool bike!"

    How any rider could mistake the F6B for a scooter is beyond me. Scooters are step through.

    Motorcyclist are funny folks, and I guess that what makes the sport so interesting though.
    Friends can come and go depending on what you might ride at the time.
    My wife and I have rode over 30 different motorcycles in the years past. We just love motorcycles and the ride. We rode Kawasaki Voyager 1300's (3 - 1985's) for awhile and had a good friend (couple) that we rode with (they also had a 1300). Well, we got a wild hare to have a 1987 Kawasaki Concour that we rode for over a year. When we got it, our friends thought we were absolutely crazy and our love affair was over.
    But, last week a fellow walking his dog, stopped to look at the F6 and said that has to be the most beautiful motorcycle I have ever seen!!
    Today and after all these years, I have to agree with that fellow!!

    Agree, it's a lot of the riders I don't care for. I hate opinionated pricks.

    Some folks are a wee bit insecure,,, Those who make comments, and those who worry about 'em.

    I like all bikes, the more unique, the better. (Will the owner of the Black HD please step forward? JEEZ!!! )

    Yes, I like all bikes. Doesn't mean I'd buy 'em/ride 'em, but I like 'em for what they are. I don't 'bad mouth' other folks bikes, but I do look at some and think to myself it would be uncomfortable, hot, rough-riding, ill-fitting, wouldn't suit my individual needs / do what I need done, but that doesn't mean the owner isn't tickled with it.

    I don't have to ride it, and if they are happy with it, cool beans!!! If they don't have anything positive to say about mine,,, eh,,, whatever. (So far, I've received nothing but compliments, with the ~most-odd~(???) comment being "I though the purple one would be the Wifes bike and the black one would be the Husbands??" Heh heh heh! I guess they thought wrong, eh?!?!! LOL!!
