Is a biker's agro inversely related to their bike's capacity?

At the risk of stirring up a hornets nest ,please correct me if im wrong, but some of the most vocal people on this forum dont actually appear to even own motorbikes?

Please define "vocal". And "motorbikes".

However, having said that. There does seem to be something about smaller bikes egging one on. When I take the Whale out, I seem to automatically ride very defensively and politely ("After you , Sir"). And law abidingly.

But out on Li'l Rat Bike, something primevil seems to be aroused and I am definately more assertive (won't say aggressive). It's sort of like the Beammer says "Such plebian displays are beneath my august dignity. Let the rabble go by. We, the Herrenvolk know who is master". Whereas Li'l Rat Bike it's "Wheee this is fun. Cummom cummon, betcha I can go through that next corner 20 kph faster, Cummon betcha betcha, cummon guv, gives us a chance then."

Don't know why. The effect of the higher revs maybe. Could be , because a two smoker ALWAYS seems to cry out to be ridden harder and faster than a 4 stroke.

It is all about the ride quality and the engine. Torque is relaxing, and HP is exciting. Maybe it is a noise thing. Also smaller bikes of the same type respond faster than bigger ones. Speed of turning, tight suspension are exciting, BMW long travel, soft, soak-up-every-bump suspension is not exciting....

I find that people with bigger bikes tend to be easily provoked and anrgy (hides under the keyboard).

And whenever people dont have their bikes/dont have bikes... of course they will be on here... talking bikes 24/7 tis the closest thing to riding them I suppose.

[StoneChucker]

I don't think the bike has much to do with it. Any bike can be ridden by an aggro rider.

I don't think of my bike as big in terms of size. In terms of HP or CC then yes it is I suppose. But, I never get aggro with people, even on the forum here I don't think I've ever attacked someone directly. However, I am easily upset by the "small things", but that is with myself and not others.

Cheers.

[Skyryder]

I't all about vibrations. Big bike= big vibes. Small bike= small vibes. Or as the Beachboys said GGoooooooooodddd goooood viiiibrations. That's where it's at man and if you have no good vibrations lifes not worth living.

I seem to be seeing a relationship where the most impotently agressive posts on this website come from people that own bikes of 250cc or less.

"Very Interesting, very intersting ja! There ist a connection between the two I must agree, ja"

I haven't got grumpier since going from a 900 to a 1200, but then at my level of general grumpiness small increments don't get noticed.

its the no bike (or licence) / learner / restriceted / full process, or for those who do it legally.

an naturally you age as you go through the process (yeh no shit you do!unless your asian an buy a full) an with age comes other stuff like seneility and some other shit

where asre you more likely to see hostilities a pub (young people)in randwick or a rest home (OLD PEOPLE)

and you are an observant little pixie arent you. give her a stamp.

Well ,there were some interesting posts on this subject.
obviously there are some more mature riders who choose to ride 250's who are the exception,but my theory is that the young ones may be suffering an over supply of testosterone.I wonder if they are spotty too ?
My proclaimation is:Cut off their Goolies!!
