LOL, Oh if that were true. I just got pulled over by a policeman the other day because he wanted to talk about my SG. He is thinking of trading his Hayabusa in for a Harley and asked my opinion. He really just wanted to talk about Harleys.

I had folks coming over to talk about my 02 RKC when I had it just as much as the folks who come over to ask about my SG. One guy couldn't get the gas nozzle into his minvan fast enough just so he could walk over to talk about the SG while I was filling up. He nearly killed himself tripping over his gas hose. But strangely the RKC seemed to attrack a different group than the SG. The RKC got a lot of attention from cute young females while the SG so far only attracks males of all ages. Had teenage follow me for a few miles until we hit a red light just so he could ask about my SG.

And my buddy keeps asking why I don't consider a Honda. LOL

I know what you're saying, and I couldn't agree more. But like said above, most everyday civilians wouldn't know the difference anyway. That's a great looking King, and as you add your personal touches, you'll begin to feel that special bond that occurs between bike and man. It's crazy I know, but it happens!
