Well i seemed to have joined this one late. I like sport bikes, always have and always will, and if it was not for the lack of funds would have a few tucked away in my garage. Japaneese, Italian, German, British. Love them all. Especially the Italians.
Bikes are bikes. Crusiers, Tourers, Sports, or full out road legal race bikes. They are all nothing but harmless machines, there for our riding pleasure. It is the morons who sit upon them that make them dangerous.
And if i may pick up on a comment i read earlier. In my experience, it is the crusier riders who are less likely to take the riding gear seriously. Seeing people tooling down the road on a crusier dressed only in a t-shirt and, half shell helmets and tennis shoes is much more common then barely dressed riders on their sport bikes. The majority of the people i see on sportbikes are fully decked out in there dayglo green and red power ranger suites, and $500 Aria helmets.
Though i do cring when ever i see a young girl on the back of a bike (any bike for that matter) dressed only in a tee shirt and shorts.
