    Do women get more out of bikes?

    I cant recall (and have searched) whether this has been broached on KB. If so, flame it. If not, lets head to the polls.

    I have been having a discussion with a female colleague of mine around the...um...vibrational aspect of bikes. In particular twins. Although jokingly mentioned, I did suggest that pleasurable side effects of twins would be a factor in overall sales to women.

    What are you thoughts on this (Please vote)

    So why don't more women ride thumpers?

    Or is it about vibrational quality, rather than quantity?

    I’m presume that if women were getting constantly turned on while riding motorcycles that there would be:

    a. A greater number of female riders on the road.

    b. A statistically higher % of women riders crashing (it would be hard to concentrate while getting ones jollies off).

    I appreciate you bringing this interesting subject to KB

    Damn, I knew there was something I forgot to add in to the Trade Me advert for my bike. Yes indeed ... Mrs Oakie will confirm that at about 7200rpm there is certainly some ... err ... pleasure to be had.

    C'mon you guys ... buy my 'Love Tool' Honda CB400. You'll be a hit with the girlies. It's listed on KB in the appropriate place. Infact, I think I might even go and add that bit in...

    I remember an episode of Married With Children where Peggy had a HD in the lounge and all she did was sit on it and rev it.

    Doesn't really matter which bike you ride - although the V-twins do feel great to ride...... Us chicks will not kiss and tell

    Depends on where she put the foot peg.

    Perhaps the engine is too well balanced? Try pulling a plug lead off (not while it's going, of course. That would be too exciting...)
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
