Default Nice Harley!

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!

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?"

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

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!

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.
