Are you really going to ride that on the track? You should leave the bags on!

Can I see your pilot's license.  At which point I reach into my wallet and show it to him.

I have been wanting to do a track day with the bags on and have the track photographer pop a few pics, but always took a different bike to the track.  Ned to do it though before I get rid of mine  :D

When in Phoenix I had a few Motors officers wheedle their way through traffic to ask how I liked the machine.
 They, PHX, were thinking of moving on from the old Kawasaki Police model.  Mesa did.

You should buy American and get a Harley.
Sure once Harley can make one of these.

Actually, a lot of Harley riders I talk too dream of one as a second bike.

"Why don't you get a real bike"

Had an older guy admiring it when I came out of the store one day, he asks "Is that comfortable?" and we had a nice discussion on riding position, and then he saw how straight up you sit when I got on to ride off. He might be a future owner, he was really impressed with the bike.

I usually get the following:
"Nice bike!" from cagers.
"What is it?" from Harley riders - all of the time. It's like they don't know any other bikes exist.
"Damn, that bike is fast!" from the Corvette Z06 driver I smoked in a 1/4 mile drag.
The last one is my favorite  ;)

I've had 2 different Z06's try to race me. They both had a shocked look on their face when this giant bagger smoked them.
