I previously had a loud 'n proud black 'n chrome Honda VTX1800C. I got
all sorts of positive comments from strangers about that bike, but
they were all guys and I'd get comments at least 1-2 weekly.
With my metallic blue VTX1300S, I'm getting double the number of
positive comments, but mostly from ladies. They love the look of the
bike.
Unlike the 1800, the 1300 isn't threatening and with its stock pipes,
you can actually hear yourself think. And it's blue, not the nuthin'-
personal-its-only business black of my 1800. And I have a little teddy
bear in a motorcycle jacket sitting on the headlight inside the
windshield of the 1300.
That 1300 has turned into a chick magnet! OK, the chicks are older
than me, but not old enough to be my mother; maybe old 'nuf to be my
aunt or much older sister :)-
Anyway, it's weird how total strangers - especially women - feel
comfortable coming up to a guy to compliment him on the look of his
MC.

Forgot to add...
I assume that with Harley riders, women automatically hop on the back
of your bike as you go down the road. And of course they're 20-
something, 105lbs, busty, and scantily clad, if at all :)

That actually happened to me last week. I was stopped at a light and
a young lady with tattoos, piercing and bright red hair said, "nice
bike."
I gave her a ride downtown. (I think that is what she was after in
the first place.)
Note: She turned out to be a hairdresser headed for work at a 20
something salon.

And this, my friends, is the main reason you should always fight to
retain your no-helmet-required laws!
Can't what Steve described unless you're carrying an extra helmet...

And when you have an accident when carrying a total stranger without
helmet, you'll get sued into precambrian age by her attorney (if she
survives) or by her family, since she is unfamiliar with motorcycles
and does not know the risks, while you, as a motorcycle rider should
know the risks. Come on, it's great lawsuit fodder in the litigious
country you're living in. ;-)

I always carry an extra helmet. And some protective clothes. :-) A bike
without a topcase is definitively not something I'd want.
