Its interesting how rice rocket riders have 1001 reasons to hate Harley's and love talking about it...but bikers that ride Harley's don't hate sport bikes - they really don't pay much attention to them unless one is buzzing past them at 120 in heavy traffic.
 
Such a funny question. Why out of every bike in the world are guys who ride harleys the ones that get 'picked on'? You are all such humble, unpretentious, riders. Always waving at every other bike, never ride slow in big groups, clogging up the road. Your straight pipes are music to the ears of everyone. And it's so cute when every stockbroker and fry cook thinks he's a weekend 1%er. I too wonder why Harley guy is not popular with one and all.

Even though I ride a sport tourer and also a dual sport, I'm kind of an old timer. So I could go into this whole history. My dad and uncle road harleys back when harleys were sport bikes. But I will say the average guy who buys a harley today is nothing like the guy who rode harleys 40 years ago when I lusted for one.

The average Harley guy today is a noob and a poser, a RUB, or worse a person of very low status who thinks a Harley is a status symbol and cops an attitude about it.

And the Harley itself is a symbol of American failure. It is a primitive antique design that gets high sales from heavy advertising to said noob posers and out to pasture fan boys. The new Buell, without the harley vtwin boat anchor, is the only hope for America to again make a bike that isn't an embarrassment.

Jealous? Yeah sure. Sorry but it escapes me what I'm supposed to be jealous of?
 
I ride a ZXR250 purely because I love the sound it makes. I don't in anyway hate the sound of a V twin tho. But I wonder, are you thinking of Harley haters or cruiser haters? Now if you mean Harley haters then its probably be because they think that Harleys are over rated. But if you're thinking of cruiser haters then maybe its because of sport and cruiser riders have different personalities. Some sportbikes are expensive too. (this is all with the exception to jerks who say sh't that dont ride)

Btw, my friend rides a cruiser and we ride together
 
No, I'm just tired of the Harley Riders holding up traffic, going 45 in a 65 mph zone, and when I pass them on my rice rocket they get mad!
My rice rocket idles at 65 mph
 
Well I ride a crotch rocket and I still have respect for cruisers and even touring bikes, and Harley Davidson motorcycles are very nice bikes, I'm just young and enjoy the speed of the crotch rockets, and too poor for a Harley.
I do enjoy making fun of the guys on scooters trying to act like they're a motorcyclist.
 
rocket's ride better and have a better people who ride them yes i know not everyone is bad who ride harley's but you can't lie when harley peeps get together there is bunch there that suck and not just a few a lot.
when the other group gets together its calm and layed back. I like there group better and have been around both. Harley's are way over priced and most of the rides are hard . rocket rides are a lot nicer and the most of the people who ride them are cool and wash lol
 
It's not the HD motorcycle I don't like, it's the attitude that many HD riders have. My buddy has a Harley and on several outings, him on his Harley and me on my rice rocket, other HD riders will wave to him and ignore me. But the sport bike riders will wave at anyone on a motorcycle because they understand it's not about what you ride it's just about riding. Also many HD owners will turn their noses up at rice rocket riders because we didn't buy American, yet they have Toyota Camry's and Honda Accords sitting in the driveway.
 
You own a Harley don't you?
Who was talking bad about HD?
I think its just what side of the fence your on....

I work on them both I don't mind.
 
Well said FXRFXD! I don't know where all this animosity came from.I'll ride with anyone.I could care less what they ride.They paid for it and if they like it that's all that matters.It does irk me when a dumb b...oh wait i can't say that here..when a dumb c...oops can't say that either..when an idiot like Katt makes a statement like she did.What a twit! lol.I'm not really sure what their problem is.Maybe they weren't hugged enough as a child.
