Squid killer, hey I like that! And when you have 190 hp between your legs, you can call it any thing you want. Don't like crotch rocket? Hey, it could be called a boat anchor so quit complaining. You don't hear Harley guys complain when their bike is refered to as a Hawg (hog?), BMW's as Beemers (sounds like your idiot cousin's name), Kawasaki's as a Kaw (cow?), Gold Wings as Wings (sounds like something that hangs off the side of a fried chicken), Suzuki's as Suzies (your little sister?), Husquvarna as Husky (sounds like one of the Villiage People), Yamahas as a Yammie (even I'll admit that's pushing things just a bit too far), old Nortons as a piece or crap and old Triumphs as another piece of crap. If those squids don't like riding people calling their ride a crotch rocket, then get a Vespa scooter. Big babies!

there are countless distinctive activities that is participated in with a bike -- trials, enduro, motocross, highway racing, drag racing, infinite record as human beings locate new methods of having relaxing on 2 wheels. The motorcycles utilized in trials are popular as trials motorcycles. The motorcycles utilized in enduro racing are popular as enduros. The motorcycles utilized in motocross are popular as motocrossers and so on.. So why are highway racing motorcycles suggested as "game motorcycles"? (Rhetoric question -- it is by way of the fact highway racing is many times unlawful, and unsafe. game driving sound lots extra appropriate.) Crotch Rocket is lots extra descriptive, for this reason it caught on with the aid of fact the term for the overpowered lay around the tank highway racing motorcycles. particularly since practically every person has at one ingredient or yet another been witness to a %. of two or 3 dozen idiots racing on the constrained-get admission to highway zipping out and in of site visitors at eighty to a hundred and twenty mph. in case you do no longer purely like the term "crotch rocket" why no longer call them what they are, highway racers?

It doesn't bother me.
I even call them crotch rockets LOL
If you think about it, it's a complement!
Who out of all the weekend warriors and posers could handle sitting on a bike as fast as a rocket.
Names don't bother me.
I even call all of my bikes Jap Crap LOL
But nothing comes close to the quality, state of the art cutting edge technology, performance and low cost.
Ignorant, opinionated, closed minded riders (everyone knows who I'm talking about) call sport bikes - plastic toys.
Take a sledgehammer to all the plastic body work and you still have a race proven, top of the line machine!
