Default How old is that?

I have a 2006 XL883R and i can't count the times that a person approached me and ask is that a real old bike. I was approached today and a guy asked me how old it was and did AMF make it lol. I'm all about retro so i take it as a compliment. Do any of you all get these questions?

I'm the other way 'round. Folks will ask me how old my bike is and then they often tell me that they thought it was new. (Well the front end is new but other than that.... they must be blind! )

My 2003 883R only gets praise. Looks just like a standard MC should look like.
