I honesty think those are the people who want to be "riders" for the sake of being riders. So they can go to the office Monday and say "yea, the wife and took the bike down to(insert place)".

we have a couple of those guys that ride into the office (on nice days). Last year they used to be shocked that i would ride my R6 in to the office in just about any weather... now they are giving me shit becasue i dont want to rock out on the 75 mile commute (that starts at 430am).

big bikes make "two up" road trips a breeze. my dad rides his old yamaha touring bike all year long but lives to throw my mom on the back for a weekend through the back roads of Wva. stuff a backpack full of clothes in the staddle bag and roll out to anywhere. He is actually looking for a smaller bike for every day riding because his current bike is "too big" for his 7 mile commute.

Honda and HD both have a lot of aftermarket (or OEM) to help custimize the bikes too... i think that helps them.
