Hog's versus Crotch Rockets

[Sex Wax]

Which do you prefer and why? Harley style bikes or Crotch Rockets?

[silviasichigo]

Well I am leaning towards hog but more like the V-rod or the yamaha

[Sex Wax]

Those V-Rods are pretty sharp. Kinda a Hog/Crotch Rocket fusion.

[silviasichigo]

Yeah my buddy Terry bought a V-rod night special...... very nice

[Trail]

Hog's all the way

[socalheart]

Well, I like the style of the Harley, but not the sound. I used to want a Kawasaki Ninja as a kid, but couldn't imagine actually riding a motorcycle now. So, with that in mind, I'd have to go with the Harley for its classic style.

[billhilly]

Hogs. I loved my Shadow 1100. Been on a few runs. Harley is the main attraction, but I was never razzed for my Honda. I guess the big V was good enough.
On a side note...
Ever been to Spring Break at Palm Springs, CA (Or any break)
Young ladies with thongs on the back of a rocket is a thing to behold.:thumbup:

Honda CBR 1000 Or Ducati 999, or moto guzzi....love crotch rockets

yeah man I been a long time fan of Ducati:first:

[Lursyobwoc]

I've had crotch rockets before but have ridden both. I like the way that crotch rockets handle & of course, speed at the flick of a wrist; however, since I'm getting older :old: I'd have to start leaning towards something like a Gold Wing, that way momma can ride in comfort too. ;)

[dk]

Harley's remind me too much of old guys and leather...

DK, you can wear your assless chaps to the next JU Meet!!!:barf:

[OkinawaStud]

I'm a Gold Wing kind of guy.

[Sex Wax]

I like the looks of some of the crotch rockets, but I like the Hog's more. If I could come up with a surf rack for a 10' board and attach it to a Harley, i'd get one. Oh yeah, and i would have to convince my wife that i really need it.

[kombu_kid]

No Gold Wings or Harleys for me......maybe a V-Rod if it was hopped up, but I doubt it. They remind me of a Lazy Boy recliner on wheels. Slow steering, and that "everybody's got one" problem too. Here's a bike I used to have......it's kind of the best of both worlds. A Buell is a sportbike that has a hopped up sportster motor & gobs of torque. Rated @ 101 HP & it loves to wheelie. I laid it down on the 10 freeway one Friday afternoon, but it wasn't too bad. I drove it home, just a little worse for wear.......and me with bloody hands, knees & elbows & shredded work pants.

I stopped into an In-N-Out Burger to grab a coke & just chill out on the way home.......it was freakin' hilarious to see people's expressions as they walked by with their food & drinks. They looked more in shock that me.

[Boost]

To be completely honest, I have only ridden crotch rockets, so I can't give an accurate comparison from my point of view...

...but with that said...CROTCH ROCKETS all the way!!!

http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/14709/r1myspace.jpg

And yes, that's really me and my R1 :)

[Tempestuous]

I rode our friends harely- to much vibrating for me.
I'll go for crotch rocket.

Plus- you can snuggle in closer as a passenger ;)

You rode the wrong Harley dear. :)

[Tempestuous]

SHUT UP!!!!!
Get your mind outta the gutter. ;)

Seriously by the time we got to Kadena's gate 3 to the post office my back, legs and butt were all itchy.
I rode home with Boost on the CBR.

I was refering to the cuddly part. But I did ask a woman once about the other part. She said "yep" but I didn't believe her.

I've had a few HD's and did custom work, painting, etc and bike shows. Not that anyone cares...

[Tempestuous]

I have no idea what the model was....but it has a seat with a back for the passenger

My family would likely disown me if they heard me turn on HD......one of my cousins is actually NAMED Harely!! :barf: *smile*

[Tempestuous]

TheKidd likes him some crotch rockets too

It was a 2000ish Harley Heritage. :)

[mikersoft]

You need a choice for "both" ;)

Ideally, I'd like both a sport bike and a cruiser. Sometimes I'd feel like hitting the twisties, other times I'd like to just thump around in cool chopper. However, my chopper would have to handle decent too. I'm not into the ones with a huge rake and 6ft forks. :thumbdown:

I prefer a good old classic like this 47 Indian. Road a few that a friend build. I preferred the one that was modified to remove the suicide shifted but it kind of took away from it authenticity

[mikersoft]

Yep.. I like his style.

[Ammoyankee]

I can understand that! I am an avid Super Streetbike mag reader and he has a layout in there every now and then and they are some pretty sick bikes...

[kombu_kid]

Here's one hog I would ride......maybe some of ya'll have seen Cole Foster's bike. His company is Salinas Boyz. Slammed down & tight.....badass! Check out the slick out back. Here's more pics:

I just picked up a '94 Suzuki GSXR 400 a couple months ago, and its awesome, so for now i have to say Crotch Rocket until i get a chance to ride something else...

[Ammoyankee]

Well I still have the crotch rocket(GSXR1000) but I just got this...It's a 2006 Harley davidson Street Glide! Now I have the choice depending on how I feel that day!:11a:

[tim duncan]

have owned several "crotch rockets" a suzuki moped..and one harley....

kombu kid..that blue bike was really cool...but am thinking that it does not have any shocks on the rear....which makes for a really uncomfortable ride..imho....looks cool as hell though......

first bike was a ninja 600...and rode the bike to get my drivers licence and even took the motorcycle safety class..before i got the thing..so ...give me credit ...i at least tried to be safe......

the crotch rockets were fast, with killer handeling, brakes and power. ...the downside was that i wrecked a lot, got injured a lot, and got many speeding tickets.....was under 20 years old at the time.....

so i got a harley .....the harley sounded good, had crappy handeling, crap shocks, crap power, but..looked cool as hell, vibrated alot..and needed a lot of polishing all the time but i am a lazy shit...and it rusted preety badly by the time i sold it..have to admit that the harley had good resale value though....and the sound of it. that killer v twin sound is a sound i will always love.....

now i just ride my bicycle.......and am just as happy.....:)

I have a zx9r and I love it but I have also gotten a chance to try some other bikes on for size and I think it is all about personal preferance. They are both motorcycles but two different machines with two different looks.

Here's the pic . . . the old helmet though. Just got it replaces with something MUCH better!

[NotSoAverageWife]

We like a Harley!!
Hubs has a Deuce waiting on us back home. I miss going for a ride!

[xXNothingnessXx]

I said crotch rockets. I haven't rode a Harley yet. My dad has had a few but never wanted to try them out. I had a 02 Honda CBR F4i as my first bike. I loved it...red/white, Yoshimura race exhaust, fender eliminator, and power commander. Kind of like the one I posted. I like the GSX-R's and the Yamahas R1/6 but not a big fan of the Kawi's.

how about super moto style? i'd take one of those over either rocket or hog.

Oh yeah...i should have added that in the poll huh. Maybe dk can fix it and add in "super moto style"?

Wow, so far, Crotch Rockets have taken the lead.

[TheLastDon]

Crotch rockets are cool looking but not comfortable.

[don_barok]

mopeds,...cheap and easy to toss. LMAO.

Neither, both are death traps.

I have had both, and have an older bike stateside I can't sell..........not fun anymore.

but 35 years ago..:old::w00t:

Four wheels are a good thing. 400 plus h.p., nitrous oxide.......

It's kind of hard on the wallet though, that's why I gave it up.

Or it could have been my wife telling me to do that.

Sorry dude...I left out the "Super Bad Ass Bike" catagory when making the poll. that bike does look cool as shite. Do you own one?

[Just John]

Gotta go with the Harley. I guess if I was still 18 going on ten, I'd lean toward the crotch rocket.

Like Guyjin pointed out though, you can't control the other idiots on the road, so I'll stick to dirt bikes. :D

Harleys is my toy of choice.

I might get another bike.. I'm thinking about this one..

Triumph Street Triple R

It's neither a crotch rocket, nor a hog. A nice balance between everyday comfort and performance.

E. None of the above.

Here is my 1990 DR650 Suzuki Dualsport. Pavement, dirt, don't matter! It's getting a paint job soon, it was covered in teal/aqua 1990-vintage decals when I got it. It was in the low 20's (F) when this picture was taken, think it was December 30 or something.

I would buy a 50cc scooter before I got a Hardly, just don't like 'em. And 90+ % of the people who rant and rave about HD's have never ridden one, much less owned one. I grew up around bikes and bikers, it's not WHAT your ride, it's that you actually RIDE!

Sport bikes just don't fit my riding style, and they're notoriously difficult on muddy logging roads.:thumbup:

Here is a beautifully sculpted sexy crotch rocket I'd die to ride.....probably annoying on an everyday basis.....but to just take out and enjoy once in a while and get crazy, hell yeah! Notice the radical curves and tight small seat.......latin styling, oozing with sensuality. This bike was made for one thing......and doing it in it's own pure hot flashy style.

Dude, I love the bobbers. I am going to get me one later this year.

A buddy of mine had one of this Hard Knock Kickers back in the states. They come in 2 sizes 50 cc and 100 cc (i think its been a while). You order them online and they send you all the parts in the mail. They are super fun to drive and look way cooler than a scooter.

Don't get my wrong just commenting there is a lot of plastic on that bike that breaks to pieces on the first crash and is super expensive to replace...

I love all bikes types: from Honda Cubs (which has been voted more than once as the world's greatest bike, due to sheer numbers, all the different countries that use it, and the fact it has not changed in more than 60 years) scooters, Harleys, customs, dirt bikes, etc. etc. Each has a purpose and performs well in different situations.

I wouldn't recommend daily driving a $30,000 chromed out Harley here in Okinawa. Nor would I attempt to cross the US on a crotch rocket.

I think you should pick the best bike that meets your needs.

Bottom line I love all things motorcycle and one day hope to own 5 – 6 bikes.

1. 1990 Harley Fat Boy
2. BMW R1200 GS
3. 1960 Vespa
4. Custom Bobber
5. Ducati Monster 695
6. Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R
