Similar reasons for hanging back and buying a Ducati, all the so-called bad press.
As of yet had no problems and really wished I'd done it sooner.
But the snob issue is every where. When I used to commute to work on my BMW very rarely got a nod, even got cut up by a guy on a Honda.
Most of the time I ride my St4s now. Had to take the BM for a MOT, forgot what I was riding and kept getting miffed why other bikers would not nod back.
