Lately I've have gotten a lot of compliments on my FZ6, but they have mistaken it for a BMW. Has this happened to any of you before?
Is that a BMW?

A lot of homeless people ask me if mine is a BMW when I am stopped at stoplights.... not sure why.

that's the first one that came to mind that it could look like. i don't know how popular the f800s's are over there, but it's not "that" common of a bike over here. if people think bmw they usually thing GS or RT's.
Other then that, most people don't even know that bmw makes motorcycles in the first place
ah well, guess they should look at the logo first before asking questions

BMWs are mostly boxers and extremely ugly, so I'm not sure why people would get them confused...
McLovin
plain evil
:rof: thats the only brand they know of apparently...

I think its mostly because people find the FZ6 similar to the looks of the GS series. You'll never get a question like "is that an r6".
Someone asked me if it was a triumph the other day, probably because I have a naked fz. People with their labels....
Its mostly motorcycle racism. Thats what it is :BLAA:
