Old Styling
Yesterday I was at A Fair where I had rode my bike into the fair to park at our local Honda Exhibit. As I was sitting there a guy came up and asked whose bike is this? I replied that it was mine. Then he said "You have really taken care of that old bike and it was in great shape, What year is it?". I told him that it was a 2013 model and he had a hard time thinking it was not an older CB750. I guess Honda did a pretty good job to make it look like a retro design. It had one guy fooled.

Yup, seems to be a very common occurrence, some experiences even leaning to the weird side.
There's been a couple of other threads about it. Here's the latest:

RE: Old Styling
This bloke was really interested in the CB1100, but didn't ask any questions of us.
