What is your oppinion on crotch rockets?

im thinking of getting one, do you think they are too junkie?

what do other riders (YOU) think of a person riding a crotch rocket when you see one on the street?
but what are your opinions guys? on the riders, good bikes? not too junkie?

False. Squids=death. If you act like an idiot, you can get killed on any motorcycle.

Stupid people who ride like idiots die on crotch rockets (as well as any bike). The problem is, they are a lot more tempting to go really fast on.

To answer the other part, I built my own bike. It's a 1650cc hard tail chopper. It has about 100hp and has more power and torque than I know what to do with. Luckily, I don't drive like an idiot.

I ride a HD Road King....but unlike some other haters on here who bag on everything HD, I don't put down crotch rockets. I actually think they are pretty cool, but that's not the kind of riding I want to do. I prefer to cruise, enjoy the scenery, and have a long comfortable ride. **and to those who will tell me HD aint the only company that makes cruisers.....I'm well aware of that....I owned a VTX1300R and I much prefer my Road King.**

And what I think about a person on a crotch rocket ? Nothing.....I look at them as a fellow rider who enjoys a different experience than I do......I wave to them and hope they ride safe. I had a neighbor that "showed" custom crotch rockets and his bikes were cool as hell.

But to answer....no they don't equal death. Anyone can die on a M/C....the 1's who ride like idiots are the likely 1's to die, but even the most responsible rider can be killed by someone in a car or truck who drives like an idiot or just aint paying attention.

Crotch rocket or cruiser....HD or Kawasaki....we all need to be aware of all that is around us and ride safe !!!

no. immature rider on crotch rocket (or any motorcycle)= death.
The only reason you see more wrecks on crotch rockets is because young riders are pushing the edge without having the experience or training to stay alive. Put an experienced rider on any bike, and his odds for living go up greatly over a new or in experienced rider. I've ridden for 42 years. I haven't been knocked off one in 25+ but when I was young and though I knew it all, I sure was hurt bad a couple of times.

FALSE

'nuff said

Crotch rocket+lack of skill+pushing limits=Death

Sport bikes are the evolution of the motorcycle. They are the most agile and powerful road motorcycles made. If you have the experience and you want to feel totally connected to the road and the bike as you slither through tight turns at top speed the sport bike is what you want.

Quality depends on the company. All the Japanese bikes are pretty good, along with BMW, Triumph, and the Italian bikes. The Harly/buell is pretty much a non contender.

I think they are wonderful machines that are often purchased by inexperienced riders because they think it looks cool and want to brag to their friends about how fast their bike is. They buy all of the race replica gear so they'll look like a Moto GP racer and then call Harley riders posers because they own a pair of leather HD chaps...go figure. But to answer your question, these are very high performance machines that should not be in the hands of a beginner.

Nothing against crotch rockets per se.
They do trash a lot of cocky newbies though.
Fine if you've got some skill & sense,
grissly death if you don't.
