^^ Thats a new one to me.. I call it sportbike, but in conversation I call it the 600rr.. Doesnt matter how people bring it up to me but crotch rocket is definitely something a little more private to me.

 

Hey, that's cool to know. I can tell people it's a "supersport" now.

 

Unless your on a Buel.... then your allowed 1125cc's to compete with the 600's.

 

yea thats cause v-twins need twice the displacement to just keep a 600 in sight lol

 

I only say "Do you want to see my crotch rocket" to the ladies.

 

ugh.... from my understanding from my own racing experience through WERA:

superstock: completely stock engine

supersport: stock engine with slight modifications, such as jetting (differs from organization to organization, i.e. WERA, CCS, AMA, ....)

superbike: def. NOT a stock engine, borring the block, etc.... whatever they do to it to gain hp

Superstock bikes and Supersport bikes both run in the Superstock races, while Superbikes run in the Superbike races, although superstock and supersport bikes can run in the superbike class as well (if the rider choses to), the reason being is that their at a disadvantage (down hp)

back on topic, i say sport bike to people who know about motorcycles and crotch rocket to people who dont.

 

reminds me of when my aunt saw my bike and said, 'whos murdercycle is that?'

 

If somebody asks to see my "crotch rocket" I may possibly start to unbuckle my belt.

 

Wow, that would **** me off. I saw a friend a few months ago that I hadn't seen since college and the first thing she says is, " oh, you're still alive!" (referring to my bike) Wow, great to see you too...

 

i wasnt mad, i realize they have that reputation for a reason. i try to scare new/would-be riders into wearing gear.
