yesterday me and my friends had an argument about which is a heavy bike, a harley davidson or a Bike which they use for racing in motoGP something like that. I was saying that a harley davidson is a heavy bike and the bike which they use for racing a sports bike. My friends were saying that the sports bike is called a heavy bike but it isn't heavy and that a harley davidson is heavy but isn't called a heavy bike.

Plz tell me who is in the right and who is in the wrong.
 
Is your friend confusing Heavy with Naked.....

My Road Glide is not light! It is a heavy bike. It weighs 2 to 3 times as much as my Yamaha enduros.
 
Kick one over and then try to pick it up before the owner finds out.
Chances are that when she gets there you're gonna have lots of explaining to do!
 
I consider a Harley Davidson a heavy bike, along with all other touring and cruiser bikes.

Sport bikes are built more like light weight racing bikes.

As a comparison:
A 2009 Harley Davidson Road King has a dry weight of 775 pounds.
A 2009 Suzuki Hayabusa has a dry weight of 485 pounds.

Look at the numbers. Which one do you think is heavier?

If the term is is used as a term as to how cool, well, like wow man, like I haven't heard the word heavy used like this since like back in the 60's man.
 
The Harley Davidson was designed and first built in the early 1900's as a two wheeled agricultural tractor and in 2008 things haven't changed its still an over Weight tractor built for people who don't know any better.
To call them heavy is an understatement, lumbering beasts would be a better description and to called any of them a sports bike is a joke.
 
Depending on what model Harley would depend on if it's heavy, However, As a rule, A sport bike is as light as they can be, which makes sense if you want speed.
