I had a Hard Core Harley guy in the other day for a job and an R1 went by and the guy on the bike waved. The Harley guy said "that was nice looking." I was a little shocked.... Then he said, "Ya know, those jap bikes are built Way better than Harley's... some pretty good technology there!" I almost fell over! I said that's not what I expected to hear and he smiles and said, "Credit where it's due!"

Just like cars, everyone has their likes but they all look good in different ways.
