Oh, so many:

  Kawasaki? What "size" is it?

  Is it fast?   
  Well, duh!

  What's the fastest you've ridden?
  None of your business!

  Nice bike is always nice to hear.
 
  Recently had a young lady in the passenger seat outside the store tell me she liked, really liked my bike.  Was about to ask if she had a helmet and exchange digits. Then her boyfriend, or whatever, came out.  It's OK, my wife would have been furious!  :-)

Of course, depending on the season.

Ain't it hot?  A bit cold for that ain't it?

What gets said the most that is neither stupid nor a question is "that is nice looking!"

The same happens to me. I haven't had that reaction over the several bikes I have owned in the past.

   Not very often but once in a while. 
 How can you ride one of those things ? I saw a motorcycle accident 2 or 3 years ago and the rider was hurt real bad. To which I reply, how can you drive a car, I saw a wreck just yesterday and all the peolle in the car were killed due to the driver texting. You should take the bus.

Hey SOP you are swingin a mite low on that one  :cannon: Just cause it's Black don't mean it leaks oil and sounds like a tank!

I have had a least five people ask me "When did you get a BMW?"  To which I reply "Right after I won the lottery!"

The young guys ask me how fast it goes  ::)

The old guys ask me how much it goes for  ???

Last Friday my boss asked me if I had gotten any speeding tickets  :-X

The very next day the man with pretty flashy lights on his car asked me if I had a good reason for my speed   :-\

It's for a C-10, but I run the show so I can say anything I like.

"Nice looking bike". "Ya, it'd look better if I washed it once a year". (Sam was literally plastered w/ bugs at the time)
"Nice looking bike". Back when my main fairing was green and the rest of the panels were maroon.
"Do you know how fast you were going?" No, I was scanning for maroon drivers and watching for crap in the fooking road. (that actually got me off a 'minor' performance award)

Kawasaki Motor Works, I think.  I've put Kwak (K) emblems on the front and back of the bike, the Kwak decals are still there, and I still get BMW comments.  I think the next time I get a 'nice BMW', I'm going to say 'It's a Kawasaki you dumb XXXXXXX!'
