What's with the sprotsbike riders?

[Virago]

Hi guys,

Help me out here. But I just don't understand you guys at all.

Who wants to ride something that sounds (and even looks) like a demented sewing machine?

Hunched over the fuel tank, with sore wrists from constantly leaning forward?

Cramp in the knees from the foetal riding position, and a sore neck from trying to see forward?

Why do you do it? Is it - dare I say it? - the image?

Is it the scrapes on your knee sliders, or the size of your chicken strips that matter the most?

Are the twin gods of HP and RPM really so important?

Does getting there as fast as possible really matter, or are you somehow lesser men for checking out the scenery on the way?

I thought motorcycling was all about the journey, but it appears that getting to the destination as fast as possible is the only acceptable option?

Above all, how can you be so arrogant as to have a different riding ethos than me?

I have no desire to offend, but after all I'm just a one-eyed crusier rider, with nothing but scorn for the posers on the sprot bikes.

I feel I should have some affinity with all fellow bikers, but it is hard to open my mind to differing views.

Help me out here - where am I going wrong?

Oh, Virago, you have it ALL wrong - it is to compensate for the lack of manly sized genitalia - the bigger the bike, the smaller the equipment....or so I am told. I have no personal experience to back that statement up....domestic bliss is looking decidedly dicey right now, I'd better go!

[MSTRS]

....manly sized genitalia - the bigger the bike....

Perhaps all that is reqd to ride one of these monsters is the possession of male equipment, fullstop? :shit:
oh...and ladies...having his ring on your finger does not imply possession of said equipment:innocent:

Shouldn't include the the sound and aesthetics of your Virago in your rant...:killingme

[Shaun]

You went wrong with every word you just said, best be running and ducking for cover mate

AS You said, or I thought you said, Each to there own, 2 wheels is 2 wheels and we all eat different food as well

[Ixion]

You're all wrong.

'Tis a universal truth, beyond argument, that sprotsbikers are wankers, and crusiers are plonkers and offroaders are nutters. Only tourer riders are the true elite, the Heaven Born.

Except, of course, for two smokers, who are above all such rules.

Which of course, by logical deduction, means that a two stroke tourer is the ultimate of ultimates, the ne plus ultra.

Now, if they made a two stroke crusier -------------

Hi guys,
Howdy

Help me out here. But I just don't understand you guys at all.
I'll do what I can to clear things up.

Who wants to ride something that sounds (and even looks) like a demented sewing machine?
With my free flow Micron pipe that is putting out over 95db (oops did I just say that out loud?) and shooting out blue flames like a fire breathing dragon, I'd hardly compair it with a sewing machine.

Hunched over the fuel tank, with sore wrists from constantly leaning forward?
I keep on hearing that we are wankers. Partly because it's true. Hence, our wrists are stronger to cope with the hunched over riding position.

Cramp in the knees from the foetal riding position, and a sore neck from trying to see forward?
Maybe cause I'm pretty short. Not Padrosa or Caparossi short but I'm not tall, I don't really have this problem. Only time my knees experience any distress is if it hits any catseyes by mistake. Oweee...

Why do you do it? Is it - dare I say it? - the image?
Ofcourse it is! No one is cooler than us. We look so cool that we can't even take our own eyes from our selves. As we pass through shops in a town, we pretend to check out the nebourhood but inreality, we are mearly checking out our own reflection on the glass windows and doors. We check out our flash exhaust pipes, our neatly tucked in number plates and we check out our expensive helmets, racing suits, gloves and boots as if they were desginer garments. It's not cause we need the best equipment but it's cause it makes us look like racers. Cause that's what we pretend to be.

Is it the scrapes on your knee sliders, or the size of your chicken strips that matter the most?
Yes!!

Are the twin gods of HP and RPM really so important?
Ofcourse it is! What else could we possiblly talk about at the stops when having a latte?

Does getting there as fast as possible really matter, or are you somehow lesser men for checking out the scenery on the way?
What is this scenery you talk about? I am unfamilier with this term. All I know is the green stuff and the greyish/black stuff in a blur. The aim is to stay on the greyish/black stuff.

I thought motorcycling was all about the journey, but it appears that getting to the destination as fast as possible is the only acceptable option?
Now you are getting it! Send me a PM, when you are ready to convert from your form of two wheels to a real motorcycle. A sports bike!

Above all, how can you be so arrogant as to have a different riding ethos than me?
Now you lost me :mellow:

I have no desire to offend, but after all I'm just a one-eyed crusier rider, with nothing but scorn for the posers on the sprot bikes.
Oh... OK then. Just when I thought there was still some hope for you yet... Oh well...

I feel I should have some affinity with all fellow bikers, but it is hard to open my mind to differing views.
If you had one, you'd understand.

Help me out here - where am I going wrong?
How did I do with the above? Did I help? I am glad if I did.

[R6_kid]

haha thankfully that is a pisstake. I for one know that i am not a soft cock, and therefore prolonged sessions of 'high pace' riding do not make my knees, neck or wrists sore, i have no chicken strips on my tires and i now have scrapes on my knee sliders too!

I for one have always been a competitor, not a poser, i prefer to struggle to be the best, the first, the winner... thats why i do sports. And probably why i ride a sports bike, i take my competition to the track and muscle it out there, or push myself i a little on the road as the scenery goes past in a blur. Sometimes i even video it so i can come home and watch it in 'slow-mo' to see what i missed.

I prefer the leant forward stance, coupled with my high-tech suspension and leading edge high revving engine performance, to sitting back, riding like a nanna taking in every last petal, bud and bee that the roadside lets me see, while my oversized, underpowered v-twin vibrates my balls to make up for what my missus (or gay-partner) couldnt give me in the sack.

Each to their own, im an adrenalin junky and like the rush and the buzz that speed and fast cornering give me. If i wanted to see the scenery i'll stop or i'll take the cage. If its sheepskin seats, tassles and lattes that do it for you please do it on your own time and not in public!

[Ixion]

To me, sprotsbikers seem as sad as crusiers, and vice versa. Both conformist and obsessed with appearances.

The most common phrases from both are along the lines of "pig ugly" "looks cool" etc etc.What does it matter what a bike looks like?

The purpose of a motorcycle is to get from point A to point B. Different folks will have different ideas of how the journey should be; as fast as humanly possible (sportsbike); comfortably (crusiers); as far as possible (tourer). But in no case does the appearance of a bike in any way have any bearing on its ability to perform its task. So why all the talk about appearances?

I have no idea, being a cruiser rider and all! :innocent: You would have to ask one of the female sprotbike riders that.

[hXc]

They're awesome, like anyone else with a naked street bike. Because the naked street bike is so much more awesome than the rest, it's "side effects" rub off on the owner and are stronger than the rest. If said naked bike is a v-twin, then that person is just as awesome as me.:rockon:

Coz da looks get u da hoes bra

You're looking at the idea of motorcycling far too practically. Looks are just one of many things that make bikes great

And if the purpose of a motorcycle is only to get from A to B, racing, or just going for a Sunday ride, seems awfully pointless

[jade]

You're right, 2 smokers are superior..

Isnt that the name of an Album that Garbage put out??

To Virago:

All the cruiser riders I have met have been ok, well apart from Waylander...but hes Canadian/Yankee so what do ya expect :P.... but then along comes you...

Have you been passed lately by some sportsbikes which made you feel rather inadequate? If I see your shiny armchair cruising down the road ill make sure i pass you on the bike wheel with one hand off giving you the bone...WHY? because I can :Punk:

[Macktheknife]

With my free flow Micron pipe that is putting out over 95db (oops did I just say that out loud?) and shooting out blue flames like a fire breathing dragon, I'd hardly compair it with a sewing machine.

I can help out with this part... I dont want to ride a bike that sounds like a tractor...

.

I can help with this part too... the green stuff is the scenery... it is generally the stuff we hit when we over cook the corner, which both you and i have done a few times... Hence we are even better than cruiser riders, not only do we look at the scenery... we get up close and personal with it too...

But other than that completely agree with MR...

Yea it's a joke. When cruiser riders do it, it's a joke, yet when you spartsboik riders do it it's all seriousness. Except to us cruiser riders who just laugh as we pass you buy while you are parked up on the side of the road stretching your nuts out from being compressed by your fuel tank.

At one stage half the new threads in the cruiser section were actually cruiser-bashing. And the remaining threads were riddled with further pathetic put-downs.

[scracha]

Hi guys,

Help me out here - where am I going wrong?
(P/T)

Apart from trackdays, I can't say I really dig the big sportsbike thing myself. However, having ridden a "crusier" around Scotland for a few days I can't say I really enjoyed riding a bike, sat like a horizontal parachutist. The $hit braking thing didn't inspire me with joy either.

Just cos peeps ride bikes with fantastic braking and handling doesn't mean they all ride about at 10/10ths.

ps. If I get another dual sports bike will my baws get bigger?

[McJim]

Personaly I suspect he's extracting urine - assistance here on a more serious note..I ride a VTR250 (don't laugh) it's certainly no cruiser but wothout fairings it's not a sports bike either - strictly speaking it's a naked bike (reason I bought it is the torque and the ease of handling).

Does this mean when sportsbikes have a go at cruisers and cruisers have a go at sportsbikes that I can't play?

[merv]

The point is its not what's up with any sort of bike rider but in the end you should ride what you damn-well want to and be the kind of rider you want to be. What tickles your fancy so to speak.

My VFR isn't a sports bike, its meant to be a sport tourer (though of course when VFR's were introduced in 1986 they were seen as a sports bike - how times change - lighter, faster etc) and I love riding it, but I'm a dirt biker from way back and am too used to the sit up riding style to ever feel comfortable on a bike with the clip ons mounted below the triple clamp so wouldn't buy one. As for cruisers I'd never even dream of buying one, but I don't care I'll buy what I want. So I like trail bikes and I love the VFR and I respect any one that rides no matter what they ride, even Harleys eh!

So buy what you want and ignore any derogatory comments in this thread and ride until it hurts and then ride some more.

It just like chicks I like them blonde, I like them dark, I like them ginger and I like them brunette - I don't mind as long as they are nice to me.

So this thread would be like asking what's up with blonde riders? Then we'd hear they are too dumb to ride blah blah blah so how can those guys do it. The point is they are no doubt loving what they ride and really feeling good - end of story.

[Big Dave]

Well Mr Virago - it's like this. (nice trawl btw.)

Some sportsbike riders like the pure unadulterated acceleration and maximum terminal velocity in all situations.

SOME sportsbike riders get a feeling of self worth from being on the fastest machine. For them the Zeitgeist and their Zen lie in its poetential and they even become connected with their heroes from the tracks as they ride along.

Some are attracted to the alluring lines of the GP style machine or the array of brightly coloured adorments that they can bling upon it and themselves.

Some have never tried anything else.

I understand all these things - I can write objectively (and passionately) about them (sprotsbikes) - but I don't embrace them for myself.

There are other facets of motorcycling that I rate more important than what sportsbikes do. Fit tall people, carry a passenger in comfort eg.

What shits me is that certain type of rider who can only see their type or style of bike and feel obliged to deride the choices of others as if the circumstances of their choice relates to the size of the tacklebox.

In the case of sportsbikes, you have to make your own mind up if being folded up in a GP crouch for city riding is compensated for by the way it goes down Hwy 22.

There is no perfect bike for 'everyone', I'm riding one that's pretty close to perfect for me - and its the complete opposite of a sports bike - and your bike.

However the only Suzuki i ever seriously bag is Dovers - and that's not about the bike.

[Lou Girardin]

I can see where he's coming from. Very few sprotbikers have inspired respect from me on rides for their sheer corner speed. Sure, plenty have blasted past on the straights, but to leave me standing on a gravel strewn twisty back road with wet patches on corner apexes is truly awe-inspiring. Thanks for the show TL rider.
Then there were the nutters on the Hokianga ride, the guy on the Falco and, dare I say it, the looney on the 1st Gen bandit.
Too many sprotbikers just rely on straightline acceleration, which isn't really what bikes are about.
Still, whatever floats your boat I guess.

Cant really see why anyone bags anyone to be honest...if you want to cruise fine..do it....but do it quietly....and get outta the fuckin way in the twisty bits eh....going through the Rakaia gorge today i almost collected some guy on a 750 Honda cruiser thing...no shit he must have been doing all of 30kms down the twistys to the bridge...he almost had a TLS up his arsehole....

[Hillbilly]

Over here in NSW, everyone's dumping thier sportsbikes for cruisers! Not because they want to, but it's become a necessity thanks to three wankers who got chased by the police down the Pacific Highway at speeds well over 250km/hr! They never got caught, but now everyone else with a sports bike is being targeted and harassed. :angry:

A mate of mine will now only ride his ZZR1100 on track days as it just attracts too much unwanted attention from the cops. They even give him shit about his NSR 150! He's considering a cruiser as it's nigh impossible to exceed the 110km/hr speed limit. :(

[slowpoke]

Haha, Virago, you gotta be kackin' yourself at some of these responses, especially the red rep....what a hoot!

Ya gotta laugh at the way we HAVE to categorise ourselves in what is such an individual pursuit. Funny the way the categories are merging now too: power cruisers, sports tourers, supermoto's, adventure bikes yada yada. Then you have races like Tourist Trophy's but tourers (tourists) pride themselves on taking the long way home at no great pace, so what's with that?
Riders rave about how comfortable their cruiser is....but you've gotta stop very 120km's to fill the bugger up.
Tourers are very rarely used as as intended and hardly ever ridden for more than half a day at a time in our intsy wintsy teeny weeny country.
Harley have got a proud sporting heritage, even if it is mostly confined to flat track racing these days (disregarding the XBRR in Formula Extreme).
The guys on their chook chasers seem to enjoy throwing on a set of sticky 17" hoops and strafing a windy backroad or race track.
Then we have people who go and ride around the world on an R1.

So where does that leave us?

I reckon it's more about a mindset. Somedays you feel like blasting along at mach 1....others you just wanna pootle around and explore that road you've always wondered about...sometimes you just wanna kick back and hangshit on your unsuspecting co-riders....

[98tls]

Haha, Virago, you gotta be kackin' yourself at some of these responses, especially the red rep....what a hoot!

Ya gotta laugh at the way we HAVE to categorise ourselves in what is such an individual pursuit. Thats the thing though eh....i feel no need to catergorise myself at all...i just love bikes..full stop.i can do pretty much everything i want to do as the TL is so damn versatile and enduring,it seems i agree that a high number of bikers do see the need to fit in to a catergory which i find quite sad......i can forgive streetkids for there need to do the gang thing but adults.....as i say...sad.

very funny thread, I highly enjoyed reading it ! It's always funny watching some people get really wound up, its my favourite type of humour and has gotten me in alot of trouble with my better half. :innocent: Green bling for you, for the thread and to counter act the red. :rockon:

I have very little interest for the destination.

Hell, I'm not even too fussed about the journey.

What I am most concerned about is the next bend... brake point... blip, downchange, turn-in, accel-on... *Waaaaaaaaaah~!*

Maybe when I 'grow-up' I'll graduate to something more upright, but 'till then it's sportsbikes all the way. :niceone:

Hey, easy ya culturally insensitive Arrowtownian type, the tassles are a legacy from a history of us Scotsmen being forced to wear rags and tatters by the English invaders, we wear tassles as a modern version of those ragged clothes as an indication of how we were invaded and displaced into poverty by the English..........

if you want to cruise fine..do it....but do it quietly

hee hee... quitely... right. Your gonna have to speak up dude, i cant hear you over the harely down the road.

Cruiser, sports bike, trail bike... :whocares: its two wheels.

Virago, people (or atleast i would) ride sports bikes because A) they like the look of the bike B) they enjoy an occasionall #cough# fang on the back roads C) flickability rocks and D) (this ones my personal favourite) because they can.

I aint being mean or nothing. but stop being a motorcycle-ist-racist-person...

i shall qoute the book of denden: He who is on two wheels (and not on a scooter) is my brother... or a mate i can share my beer with.

as for sport bike riders... cruiser are just cool okay! they just rock!
I would love to get a vn1500 or a dyna but seeing as new zealand roads are arse, ill probably end up with a gsxr750 or a blade. Cruiser are popular in america because the roads are all c*nting straight! theres no (practical) use for a sports bike on long trips. However, the poor handling of cruisers (compared to a crotch rocket) makes cruisers impracticall on new zealands arser roads. That being said, if you want to be "practical," get a drz400sm...

Each to his own i guess.

Denis

[kawa]

I guess you have to ride one to know the difference sportsbikes will always be the way for me. Riding with a straight back on a cruiser and hit a jarring bump, it travels up your back. I have tried them out and for the comfort I find leaning forward is far more comfortable, when you are on a sports bike there is no nasty jarring transferred up your spine. They handle better, go faster, lean angles are greater, more fun to ride. It's not all about knee sliding, I think that is reserved for the race track or you will eventually come unstuck and end up splattered across the road. So Mr. Virago if cruisers are for you thats fine but us sports bike riders love what we have and you can only dream about.

[Big Dave]

Sore Knees, aching wrists, an even sorer back and no demerit points.

OK since you won't take offence:

Not mine - I:crybaby:about wasting 2/3rds of the bikes potential by trying to keep my licence nowdays.

100 horsepower, a naked bike, an open face helmet and feeling fast at 110kph makes me grin on the road now.

Every time I get on something like yours it's a constant battle with the speedometer, temptation and the repercussions that takes some of the gloss off it - for me.

But unlike you I have no interest in track days and thats the mitigator.

[Pixie]

Idiots
A recent magazine test showed that a conventional bike will beat a sports bike up a windy road and won't end up in the bushes like a cruiser does when it runs out of ground clearance.

GT 750 - it sure weren't no sprotsbike

[Ixion]

I know. I've got one. But it's not really a crusier. Riding position is normal, ground clearance not too bad (better than the handling, anyway). Crusierish, in the acres of chrome. But it's really a grand tourer in the old school tradition, not a crusier. Really good at knocking off long distances at speed (100mph can easily be maintained for miles on end) over straightish, sweeping bend type roads. Comfortable , too. And, in its day, one of the most powerful bikes around - only the Z1000 Kawa and the H2 750 triple put down more power, I think, apart from oddities.

Hi guys,

Help me out here. But I just don't understand you guys at all.

Who wants to ride something that sounds (and even looks) like a demented sewing machine?

Hunched over the fuel tank, with sore wrists from constantly leaning forward?

Cramp in the knees from the foetal riding position, and a sore neck from trying to see forward?

Why do you do it? Is it - dare I say it? - the image?

Is it the scrapes on your knee sliders, or the size of your chicken strips that matter the most?

Are the twin gods of HP and RPM really so important?

Does getting there as fast as possible really matter, or are you somehow lesser men for checking out the scenery on the way?

I thought motorcycling was all about the journey, but it appears that getting to the destination as fast as possible is the only acceptable option?

Above all, how can you be so arrogant as to have a different riding ethos than me?

I have no desire to offend, but after all I'm just a one-eyed crusier rider, with nothing but scorn for the posers on the sprot bikes.

I feel I should have some affinity with all fellow bikers, but it is hard to open my mind to differing views.

Help me out here - where am I going wrong?












(P/T)
hmmm....some of us like the rush....hammering a bike into a corner...pushing the laws of physics in process....holding that elusive perfect line...and powering out so hard that the rears starting to wag a little...compaining about being on the edge of traction...tipping hard in to the next...balencing the chassis on the throttle...etc etc etc....

horses for courses basically......some of us translate the term living in a different way to the rest!! just like some of us interact with our mates on this website different from how others would...and yes...we would get scorned for that too!!

[NSR-Dan]

I am going to explain this scientificly...... its called adrenilin.

adrenalin is made in the adrenal gland, what is also in the adrenal gland and has a similar effect to adrenalin is testosterone. testosterone is made in the teste gland which in lameman terms "the 2 hairy sacks the hang below your cock". so the bigger your nuts the more adrenaline that is produced.

sport bikers are adrenalin junkies which means they have huges nuts.

tourers that dont understand whats so great about sport bikes have itty bitty pea sized ones

[NSR-Dan]

Ah yes to pee or not to pee - that was indeed the question.......whats that you say there is a 'honda is better then suzuki' thread just opened in 'general bike stuff'.....I'm sooooo there....out of my fatties

the NSR is better than RGV, better handling, more reliable and faster

[cowpoos]

the NSR is better than RGV, better handling, more reliable and faster
nah...not faster and not more reliable....handling...you maybe right...but I didn't say that... kawasaki KR1S is the fastest of the 250 two strokes...and probally the most un reliable and not the best handling...I know...I've pushed all three of the ones I've own...far to many times...fucking power valves!! I recon the late model TZR would be the most reliable from what I've heard...and close to NSR in handling...but...meh!!

[NSR-Dan]

based on a stock version with the electronic deristriction the nsr is faster, and reliability i spose there similar it just depends on how there looked after.

looks i think th NSR has it hands down but thats personal preferance, plus i sell a TYGA RGV kit now the both look damn good in new skin.

anyway cowpoos we have big balls at the end of te day

[McJim]

Hi guys,

Help me out here. But I just don't understand you guys at all.

Who wants to ride something that sounds (and even looks) like a demented sewing machine?

My Ducati doesn't sound like a sewing machine


Hunched over the fuel tank, with sore wrists from constantly leaning forward?

Weight held with centre of mass not wrists - never get sore wrists even after 5 hours of riding


Cramp in the knees from the foetal riding position, and a sore neck from trying to see forward?

Head is held up naturally forward facing - not looking skyward a la cruiser

Why do you do it? Is it - dare I say it? - the image?

It's Red :yes:


Is it the scrapes on your knee sliders, or the size of your chicken strips that matter the most?

I have no knee sliders and no chicken strips either


Are the twin gods of HP and RPM really so important?

I have 53hp and redline is 9,000rpm


Does getting there as fast as possible really matter, or are you somehow lesser men for checking out the scenery on the way?

I go slow in straight lines and get overtaken by cruisers whe then get pinged by the coppers - I like scenery


I thought motorcycling was all about the journey, but it appears that getting to the destination as fast as possible is the only acceptable option?

See above


Above all, how can you be so arrogant as to have a different riding ethos than me?

I have no ethos - I just like bikes


I have no desire to offend, but after all I'm just a one-eyed crusier rider, with nothing but scorn for the posers on the sprot bikes.

Monoccular vision is quite common - I need a certificate every time I sit a licence test


I feel I should have some affinity with all fellow bikers, but it is hard to open my mind to differing views.

[NSR-Dan]

yeah ive had the privilage to ride a KR1S and yeah they are insane. pitty that they arent very reliable and they are a bit sloppy in corners but a very fast bike. still the honda RS250 race bike is the best 2t i have ridden

:headbang::headbang::headbang::done:

Pah, I cast scorn upon you sir!

The same corner that a sprotsbike wafts around with aplomb and ease is a different story on a cruiser.

On a cruiser at an even lower speed you have a teeth-clenching arse-pucker zorst-scraping 'fuggit-fuggit-fuggit get round ya bitch' type ride accompanied by sparks and a whiffy smell.

Now THAT lets loose gallons of adrenalin AND requires watermelon-sized goolies too.

If this is your true perception of motorcycling you should clearly be posting on KiwiCommuter.co.nz. You call your self a "biker"?


To me, sprotsbikers seem as sad as crusiers, and vice versa. Both conformist and obsessed with appearances.

The most common phrases from both are along the lines of "pig ugly" "looks cool" etc etc.What does it matter what a bike looks like?

The purpose of a motorcycle is to get from point A to point B. Different folks will have different ideas of how the journey should be; as fast as humanly possible (sportsbike); comfortably (crusiers); as far as possible (tourer). But in no case does the appearance of a bike in any way have any bearing on its ability to perform its task. So why all the talk about appearances?

Apperance to me is about individuality, hence why i paint my bikes in my own personal theme instead of a standard OEM/GP copy job.

Id rather be myself instead of another sheep of the flock (god damn conformists)

[Reckless]

What's with the sprotsbike riders? As you say!

Shit man its got nothing to do with a big cock.
Its about going faaast. The challenge of it, the thrill of it, the feel of pushing the machine, even if your ability is only pushing it 75% you are still pushing yourself 100%.

Jeepers man 1/2 the sports out there are about skill combined with the thrill of speed. Karting, F1, Moto gp, Moto x, any motorsport come to think of it. Why the heck do you think KB track days are so popular!!
Then you have, down hill sking, water sking, Mountain biking, flying sprints, jet boat sprints, all forms of speedway, Ice hockey and a thousand other sports.

Then add the thousands of spectators that "get it" and like to watch any sort of speed sport for their own partial fix of speed and admiration of the daring & skill of the participants!!

Jeepers 80% of the sports out there have speed as their basis. Even a good game of Rugby.

I got nothing whatsoever against cruiser riders but Jeepers man think about it before posting dumb arse questions! :nono:

[Chrislost]

the only thing is that cruser riders usually see fit to wear chaps.
now i dont know about you but every time i fallen off the ass has been scratched off my gear.

why ride a sportbike : a 1k sportbike can be easely wheelied upto around 250kmh by a good rider

[beyond]

Errrmm, there is a simple answer to this dilemna.
Get a GSX1400 :bleh:

Then you get all the adrenaline rush you need, heaps of power through torque and cubes, awesome handling in the tight stuff, all day comfort, speed and all in a package way cheaper than most sports bikes including
600's.

You can ride all day hard in comfort if you want, no sore wrists or neck (except when over 230kmh for prolonged periods) no sore knees and when you get where you want you can do it all over again. You have enough storage for a dog turd kit, a full set of waterproofs, tools, water bottle and disck lock etc and of course play lunch :)

Plus you can still do all that with a pillion who will also be comfortable.

My Pet Cheetah will outrun your Greyhound.....

Cats are best.:rofl:

[westie]

I have a confession to make. I found out later in life that my first bike was a classic "dykes on bikes" mount. How was I to know?
My next bike was a old mans bike. I didn't know at the time honest.
Now I have a bike that people call gay? Damn!
I just cant win

Bikes in order of appearance

250 virago(viagra)
700 intruder(erotic!)
900 HONDA!! Ha ha

I view it like evolution!:bleh:

[WarlockNZ]

I'd just like to step in and say that i have no problem with cruiser riders, i wave at them all the time ... they seem to ignore me tho and every now and then give me the finger... perhaps your looking in the wrong direction??

A little respect goes a long way.

Just my 2 cents :jerry:

[yungatart]

so what size is that gsxr in your garage

I have no idea! It is only praked there because of my generous nature...

[desmo dave]

checking out the scenery on the way?

Cant say i do.To busy riding for anything else.I will admire the scenery when i get to where I'm going

[BIGBOSSMAN]

You can check out the scenery too, but when you want to pick up speed you don't have a wobbly lard arsed armchair hindering progress. I have nothing against cruisers, I'll throw my leg over one when I'm older. Say seventy or so lol !

[MSTRS]

Oh. Dear.
Saddest part is, I read it all. Again. And laughed. Again.

[Morcs]

Errrmm, there is a simple answer to this dilemna.
Get a GSX1400 :bleh:

Then you get all the adrenaline rush you need, heaps of power through torque and cubes, awesome handling in the tight stuff, all day comfort, speed and all in a package way cheaper than most sports bikes including
600's.

You can ride all day hard in comfort if you want, no sore wrists or neck (except when over 230kmh for prolonged periods) no sore knees and when you get where you want you can do it all over again. You have enough storage for a dog turd kit, a full set of waterproofs, tools, water bottle and disck lock etc and of course play lunch :)

Plus you can still do all that with a pillion who will also be comfortable.

But dude, if that thing ever goes down, you will need a mega crane to lift it back up...

[points]

Takes one to know one!!!


Well if this is the welcome on KB and childish comments made by cruiser riders then all your doing is ruining cruiser rep. What a silly thread-you don't see sport riders complaining about cruisers. Are you guys feeling threatened by sport riders or something?

Most of the riders discussing this subject have known each other for years and are taking the piss in a friendly way. This is the norm for KB.

From time to time we do get some knob cheese that takes it seriously though :rofl:

So cry babies do ride gixxers. Thought so.

Actually, sports riders do "complain" about cruiser riders. Just search for "waving" and you'll see.

P.S. You're not a sports rider. Like cars, the japanese don't make sports bikes. Only Italians make sports bikes.

I'm pissed by the way.

WHAT?????

Someone please make it stop...please.

Look, I'll spell it out in simple terms so you can understand.

Cruisers are very much the minority. Cruiser riders know this, and accept the inevitable cruiser baiting, bashing, and pissing that comes from the sportsbike fraternity - most of which is good natured.

Sometimes the cruiser bashing gets a bit over the top and repetitive. At the time of starting this thread (a year ago!!!!), the vast majority of new threads in the cruiser section were in fact cruiser bashing.

For a laugh, I took quotes from several of these threads, and changed them over to a sportsbike baiting thread.

The vast majority of people understood the joke, but there was an inevitable few that took umbrage.

Get over it, points, it was a joke that was well understood at the time.

If you don't feel welcome, you don't need to stay.

[McJim]

P.S. You're not a sports rider. Like cars, the japanese don't make sports bikes. Only Italians make sports bikes.


Don't forget - they make pull start Ducatis too! :rofl: Ridden by fat Scottish bastards no less!

I've been on the piss too this evening...

[Finn]

Actually, my thread raises a very valid point if I don't say so myself.

In the car world, we laugh at Japanese attempting to produce sports cars. The same must go for bikes. So basically, most of your guys riding gixxers are riding 2 wheeled WRX's.

Take that and "Psssssshhhhhhh"

[Toaster]

Knob cheese?!................ ewwwwwwwww!!

Amusing thread Virago - for the silly buggers getting their knickers in a twist over a good dig and laugh, it's called taking the piss - we all do it from time to time between different bike styles, brands etc.

You need to a good sense of humour in KB boys and girlfriends, or you can always bugger off and join a car website or sit in the depression thread on a stool in the corner.

Every biker gets a wave or nod from me (except when I corner too fast and my boot goes flying as it hits the ground and I shit my pants....).

In the car world, we laugh at Japanese attempting to produce sports cars. The same must go for bikes. So basically, most of your guys riding gixxers are riding 2 wheeled WRX's.Funnily enough, the Japanese couldn't really give two shits what people outside of their domestic market think... Occasionally they'll produce something like the 787B just to amuse themselves, and take the piss out of the Europeans (as far as they're concerned, the yanks are just there to take money off), which of course scares the crap out of the Europeans so they ban it.

Another example is the GP7... took Japanese tyres to make it a winner (actually, that's not true, took shit European tyres to hamper the Japs enough for the Europeans to win).

So basically, the Japanese don't care what you stupid Europeans think, you're just an inferior race that's only there to make money off. They're proven in F1 , endurance racing, and GP bike racing that they can win if it amuses them so.

Hi guys,

Help me out here. But I just don't understand you guys at all.

Who wants to ride something that sounds (and even looks) like a demented sewing machine?

Hunched over the fuel tank, with sore wrists from constantly leaning forward?

Cramp in the knees from the foetal riding position, and a sore neck from trying to see forward?

Why do you do it? Is it - dare I say it? - the image?

Is it the scrapes on your knee sliders, or the size of your chicken strips that matter the most?

Are the twin gods of HP and RPM really so important?

Does getting there as fast as possible really matter, or are you somehow lesser men for checking out the scenery on the way?

I thought motorcycling was all about the journey, but it appears that getting to the destination as fast as possible is the only acceptable option?

Above all, how can you be so arrogant as to have a different riding ethos than me?

I have no desire to offend, but after all I'm just a one-eyed crusier rider, with nothing but scorn for the posers on the sprot bikes.

I feel I should have some affinity with all fellow bikers, but it is hard to open my mind to differing views.

Help me out here - where am I going wrong?












(P/T)


because cruisers are slow, handle like crap, and sportbikes pull hotter chicks instead of bogans....usually.

[jafar]

because cruisers are slow, handle like crap, and sportbikes pull hotter chicks instead of bogans....usually.

So thats why there are 2 seats on most cruisers & most sprotsbikes only have a single seat aye. Me thinks your theory is :buggerd:
The only 'hot' chick you could pull is out of a fast food fryer @ KFC :lol:

[beyond]

But dude, if that thing ever goes down, you will need a mega crane to lift it back up...


LOL

Been down on it three times. First two times picked it up by myself and carried on with no damage (no fairings help) third time broke my ankle and couldn't pick it up. But the 1400's are no problem to pick up at all when you get the knack right :)

I suppose if you had your way we would all be riding on carberated pushrod clunkers. Then we could throw away the tv......all sit around the eight track making conversation with our loved ones. Maybe we should throw away our fancy cellphones and get pigons again. Not to mention the bloody inter web, Lets go the the libary!!! YAY!!!!

Also what about the the health problems with being a cruiser rider. Spiders living in your beard constantly biting you. A decent sized gut to rest on the tank,

Back problems for all, no tv or sell phones! Why would you wish that all of us?......Why?

OK, I'll grant you that one, but explain this to me: -
When it comes to pillion seats on cruisers, why is it that the width of the seat is usually inversely proportional to the width of the arse sitting on it?

[Ocean1]

Notice that the opposite applies to rider seats thought dude?

I can disgree with you, we change alot of rear cruiser seats, to keep the wifes/partners happy on the back, since many cruisers rear seats seam to be very thin in size.

[scumdog]

I guess the other side of the coin is that a lot of sprotsbike rider don't tote pillions a lot of the time anyway?

[Cajun]

I guess the other side of the coin is that a lot of sprotsbike rider don't tote pillions a lot of the time anyway?

well sportsbikes not designed really for pillions really as a whole.
But we do modify alot of sport bike/sport tourers seats to suit the pillions, also.

[Finn]

Was talking to Big Dave about this last night. Having both a sportsbike and a naked I haven't ridden the sports bike since January and I don't miss it.

Getting naked is where its at.

[imdying]

I guess that depends on your definition of 'sportsbike'... I would've considered a Brutale a sportsbike myself, fairing or not. Maybe you should put some flat bars on your fairing bike?

[motocoorg]

Im a sportbike rider.. but i like all kinda bikes and i like to own all kinds at some stage or other, i enjoy every bit of sportsbike the rush,the cutting edge technology etc etc and would prefer to have a cruiser when i cant touch my toes..:-) and surely will take time then, to enjoy the scenary.

but i do respect all rides as long as u are open minded to understand "to each his own"

Yep it's all in the definition. Can ride faster on my KTM than I ever could on my ZX10,where it counts anyway. It's also bloody fast up to the tonne too and will wind out to 250ish which is more than enough on the "track"..

read previous post if i wanted your attention i would have asked for you i havn't so we will both move on :beer:

[xwhatsit]

I'm terminally indisposed towards crusier riders, as a very fat man on a de-badged 90s Yamaha something-or-other took my parking space outside work the other day! On the footpath! He could crack the pavement! Disgraceful. Everybody knows I park there, between the phone booth and the rubbish bin! He should've guessed by the oil stain on the footpath. You can't just go mixing crusier oil with sprotsbike oil on the footpath, it's not aesthetically pleasing.

What's more, he didn't even warm his bike up when he left.

Clearly a disreputable fellow. I assume that, like Asians and Westies, they're all the same. I assume all crusier riders must be similarly evil-bearded, just like all Westies kill their wives and abandon their babies at train stations, and all Asians have mullets and go around doing burnouts in ancient Holden V8s hepped up on P.
