Crotch rocket or regular street bike?

[dissto]

there is no point in trying to change someones mind. if you're into sport bikes then thats fine, if you like hogs, good for you. dont be a sales man and try to convince each other that one is better then the other. thast why there are choices in life, so people get what they want. i personaly like sport bikes. i am a speed freak and you really cant fuck with a stock gsx-r1100.

BigPhysicsBastard, check my links. I'm talking about the VR1000 by Harley Davidson, not the V-rod. Its their entry into the World Super Bike racing. They sell the VR1000 by request at the cost of 50k.

An interesting point about Harley Davidson is most of their revenue is generated by accessories. Harley is ALL about America and nostalgia. Which isn't why I ride motorcycles. If I wanted to go slow I would get a Honda ST1100 or a Yamaha FJR1300, and have an extra 5k or so in my pocket.

Oh yeah and still be hella faster than a Harley.

YOU GUYS GOT IT ALL WRONG!!! GO TO WWW.AMERICANIRONHORSE.COM AND THE TEJAS IS MY NEW THING. LOVE THE BIKE AND PLIFTER DONT BUY A BIKE FOR THE BITCHES CAUSE IF THATS THE CASE YOU WILL NEVER STAY WITH THEM. GET WHAT YOU WANT AND LIKE IT. STAY WITH THE BUDGET YOU WANT AND RIDE. I HAVE HAD ALL KINDS OF BIKE FROM RICE TO THE NEW ONE THE TEJAS. LOVED THEM ALL AND ITS WHAT I WANT SO FUCK EVERYONE ELSE. AND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF RIDIG FRAME BIKES......THEY ARE NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK.

too many responses to read, sorry

I like the idea of building a rigid. Get a frame and go loopy with the drive train. Get a Merch 120 engine and a 6spd trans(OD). Springer front end and a 240 rear tire. Run the cables and wiring harness inside the rame rails and you have a seriously clean rocket that is comfy to ride with the big rear tire. Go babay

Just thought about this, Harley is no longer in the Superbike races. They pulled the pin on the whole project. I guess it lost enough $$$ and desided to look at diffrent ways to spend $$ on. I feel sorry for the racers though, there top rider was on a two year contract.

i have a harley and would actually like a sportbike too, for the speed, Harley=comfort sportbike=speed. get the bike for yourself,thwere are =hot women who like both kinds of bikes.

boss - that Tejas is one BADASS machine. You are a man after my own heart.

Kahn - would you PLEASE tell these Rice Rocket advocates that a Merch 120" engine will blow them off the road?!
