Anytime I go into downtown for lunch I try and find I place I can park out front of and eat outside. Every few minutes someone stops in their tracks to stare at it and a few people will ask if it's mine and then ask questions about it. It's nice having something different, so glad I didn't just buy a Harley or a sport bike like everyone else I know.

Scrambler gets way more attention than anything else I've ridden around on, including 959 Panigale's, Monster 1200's, Aprillia Tuono's...

When I first got it in summer 2015, seemingly every other biker wanted to find out what it's like.
If it's parked up somewhere public, it's pretty common for someone to tell me how nice it is while I'm getting my gear on.

Seems to be much loved by bikers and non bikers alike.

My girlfriend got me a Classic for Christmas which I took out for the first ride on Christmas eve. As I pulled out of the driveway, the neighbor from 3 houses down from me and is a Harley guy saw me and broke into a big grin and waved. People don't know what it is but they still recognize that it's something that they're familiar with. I think this is gonna be a fun bike to own.

Me too, I've had a scrambler since May 2015 and nearly every ride I get either a thumbs up or a good comment. Me and the wife stopped off yesterday for lunch and came out to a group of OAP's eyeing my bike up.

a group of OAP's
This is a tangent, but hey. I'm a yank, but I spent a year living your side of the pond, in Newcastle. Everywhere I went, I saw admission prices for Children, Adults, and OAPs. I couldn't figure out what the hell an "OAP" was. (Over here we call them "senior citizens.) I finally asked one of my Brit friends about it and he said, "Well, first you have to tell me what you think it means." So my official guess was "Old Ass Person." He nearly bust a gut laughing.

(It's "Old Age Pensioner" for any other Americans.)
