Harley's vs. Rockets.......Who wrecks more?

[RedlineStands]

So who do you think accounts for more wrecks every year? I realize that rocket riders tend to be crazier but at the Gap is always seems that the cruiser riders are less experienced in intense riding and tend to wreck more. What do you guys think?

Im gonna go with rockets.. just my 2 cents..

 

[el stumpo]

crotch rockets... more glory associated with them - more young buyers. waaaaay too much power.

hp. testosterone. inexperience. bad mix.

 

[proud dad]

percentage wise....rockets.in numbers probably cruiser type,cause there's alot more of them

When my wife took the rider safety course, her instructor said that rockets account for more wrecks, but cruisers account for more fatalities because they tend to wear less or no gear.

i think that says it all...one more reminder to do what you need to in order to ride another day

Cruisers... they tend to drink more... not more than me... but more.

Geez,

I thought you where talking about the Triumph Rocket III.

Sport bike is the politically correc term at the moment.

Crotch Rocket talk went out in the last millenium.

On a photoshoot this past Saturday some guy asked "is that your crotch rocket?". I wanted to say, uh no that's my Busa... as in the best bike ever built. But instead I just said "yeah.".

I hate the term crotch rocket.... because that is something that's better suited for some 600 or 750 race/stunt bike. A Busa is more like a "nut nuke" in my mind.

 

[proud dad]

Busa is not a crotch rocket it's a land missle

 

[BA BUSA]

Sport Bikes crash more than Cruisers...but the sport bikers get up and move on, where as the cruisers are usually down and out

 

[Lamb busa]

"nut nuke" LOL

Lamb likes "groin missle". It ain't no rocket! Mine is guided!

) rockets account for more wrecks, but cruisers account for more fatalities because they tend to wear less or no gear.

That's funny- me too!! I'm thinking when they try to TURN that fat biotch...

 

[kennym4]

Has to be sport bike's, Harley's are always in the shop !! Can't ride, can't wreck !!

 

[jessup]

Rockets... How many 18 to 25 year olds do you know that can afford a harley or cruiser? I think most of the problems with sport bike crashes can be attributed to the young dumb and unskilled. I have no statistics to back this up but it sure looks like it....

Oh.... now THAT was funny!



Crotch rockets wreck WAY more than cruisers do.... Why?

Cause the chicks dig it!
