i just say sportbike when asked. that or 04f4i. kinda had a ring to it.

what gets to me is when ppl who dont own or have never ridden b4 mock a sportsbike but dont say anything about harleys or cruisers etc. to me 2 wheels is 2 wheels.

yeah god damn it is worse for Asians. When they hear I ride they freak out and start jabbering how dangerous it is. "Your parents let you ride?", god that pisses me off.


what do you say to these losers? I want to tell them that if they fuking drove with their heads out of their asses then I would be okay

I hate to stereotype, but here I go as this has been my experience. The people that ride motorcycles and like to use the term crotch rocket are the ones who are driving ninja 250's and 500's.
Im fine with crotch rocket but its pretty offensive when people say rice rocket. Especially cause im asian.

Theres a grain of truth to that stereotype. I used to own a ninja 500 and people do use the term crotch rocket to categorize 600 cc sportbike owners who are making up for their shortcomings by getting a really fast bike and they get really butt hurt when their bikes get compared to the super fast ones so they feel a need to defend themselves somehow. Kinda like f4i owners when people compare them to rr's. HAHHAA Im just kidding bout the last part guys. Btw i really like these new smiley faces lol.

I have a friend who refers to bikes as "Donorcycles"
I don't like the term crotch rocket the same way I don't like the term "Rot" when someone was refering to my Rottweiler. Rottie or Rottweiler not Rot. Sport bike or street bike not any of the above mentioned in previous posts.

Call me a vocabulary snob.
