Nice Harley! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

OK, fess up. How many Vol / C50 owners have been complimented on their nice Harley? I just say thanks. I used to correct people, but that just makes their eyes glaze over.

I think we are guilty of helping people think that. I removed my badges, but then even with them on they thought that.
My son's wife is Japanese, when he sent a picture to her sister and husband, who ride back in Japan, they both said nice Harley. Did not belive when they were told it is a Suzuki. They do not get the same models as the rest of the world.

No this thing is too damn good looking to ever be compaired to a Harley!
Plus it's too quiet.

And YES I know this was ment for the M50 crowd!

JES883 · 07-22-2005, 01:27 PM

Yeah dude. I have a harley. It's pretty dusty right now.

mr_resistible · 07-22-2005, 02:10 PM

That happens to me all the time. Actually most people just ask "What kind of bike is that." Then when I say Suzuki there mouths drop open and say. "Uhhh what?...what did you say?" "Did you say Suzuki?"

trini0 · 07-22-2005, 02:25 PM

Yup. Its a Harley

MagnumForce · 07-22-2005, 02:28 PM

Believe it or not, my boss asked ME if my M50 is a Harley. Oh, the blasphemy!

gerry2153 · 07-22-2005, 03:23 PM

yup....

blackie1491 · 07-22-2005, 04:44 PM

Suzuki, I love you all the way to the bank.
Zuki Dude, that does not include you. Everytime you pop up, my bank account goes down.

c50tiger · 07-22-2005, 07:59 PM

All the freakin' time. At first it was humourous. Now it's just annoying

Zoe Dotes · 07-25-2005, 10:25 PM

Some think Harley - One thought Victory.

They all think it is a great machine!

blackie1491 · 07-26-2005, 01:57 AM

And they are all right.
Sometimes I feel kinda stupid sitting there with this big grin.

Scourge · 07-26-2005, 11:01 AM

Rarely, most say nice bike, what is it?

dallasfan971 · 07-26-2005, 12:07 PM

i have been asked how i could afford such an expensive bike.
when i tell them it was less than 6500.00 they almost choke
one guy thought it must cost around 12000.00. i told him i
sell it to him 9000.00 lol.

Bowtie18 · 07-27-2005, 12:15 AM

I get the nice HD a little. Some just asume it is, and are quite surprised. A lot of people think metric manufacturers only make sportbikes, it seems!

BudTheGrey · 07-29-2005, 09:55 PM

While crusing the adirondacks last weekend with my wife, I had two people ask what model Harley my C50se was. I told them it was a C50 -- the model that costs half as much as the others.
