I'd say the F is trying hard to be and probably consider so with it's full fairing.. but the E is just a naked sportbike.

Hell No.  What crack have you been smoking???

i just wish the handle bars were lower ... like on the gsxr

Then get some SM2 bars or some other type of clip ons.

walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck...it's probably a duck.

The term "crotch rocket" is derived from personal taste.

When I think of crotch rocket I think of fairings and more than 70 rwhp.

And Tom Cruise.

I think that pretty well sums it up.   :laugh:

I suppose it depends who you ask.  To a Harley guy anything that doesn't have floorboards or highway pegs must be a crotch rocket.   :icon_lol:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

If it looks like a Power Ranger would ride it then it's a crotch rocket.  Ergo the 'F' model is a crotchrocket.

Power Rangers?????  Power Rangers are for sissies.  They would ride scooters.

while looking for a pic of a power ranger motorcycle I found this:



$10 says only 1/3 of you people can point out what I'm drooling over in that pic...

Everything's right for it to be an A7 except the headlight and bar trinketry...NOrton is the only other option but I'm almost sure it's a BSA A7.

see the headlight bracketry is all wrong...maybe an older model...I'm not sure.

ajgs500

The first one is a 49 and the second one a 67 but you never know they could have cafe racered it.......

nah look...it's got forks like the A7's (etc)...it's not a springer.  And the headlight mounts on the triangular frame thingywhopper...that's what's throwing me off (the headlight).
