Default Queston about "the wave"

I know there was a thread about this not that long ago, but my question is a little different. Has motorcycling changed so much that people will only wave if you are riding the same type of bike they are? This is why I ask. Today riding home from work I waved at 5 sport bike riders with no return wave or nod, then waved at 1 cruiser that waved back, then I waved at a guy on a BMW who did wave back. I have only had my current bike about 3 months and before that it was about 8 years ago. When I had my last bike I would get at least 80% to 85% wave back unless it was a HD then it was 50-50 chance. This isn't earth shattering, but just something I noticed today.
