    sad little crotch rocket...

    I guess they just about make crotch rockets in any cc displacement any more. I have no idea what it was, what engine size, what brand, what model. I just know that on the way home from S&M Motorsports Wednesday night a blue crotch rocket (cratch rocket is what I call them) got on Reagan HWY, zipped up along side me and rev'd. So I stomped it to the floor just for the fun of it. What do you know. I pulled away from him. That wasn't enough, he came back for more. So I let him have the jump at a 60 roll and nailed it again and drove around him. The was the end...no more cratch rocket. He laid back.

    Clearly wasn't a Buell, didn't have that sound, and a Buell would have been a vapor trail in front of me. Same for a Bugati or whatever that high dollar brand bike is. Anything like a Buell or Bugati or whatever that brand is would have been a streak blazing a trail in front of me. Must have been some entry level stock Suzuki, Yamaha, or Honda by my guess. Heck may have been one of those lawn mower powered minibikes made to look like a crotch rocket for all I know! LOL! Either way Bike MFGR's must make that basic looking cratch rocket bike with engine displacements as low as what 350cc? That would be the inly explanation. I figured any bike with 700cc or more displacement would run mid - high 10's off the show room floor.

    To be honest...I was as shocked as he probably was, and would guess that bike has already been traded in for something bigger. I know I would. LOL!

    I think you mean Hayabusa when referring to "bugatti" Lol. Either way, newer 600cc Super Sport bikes run mid 10's with a GOOD rider. I wouldn't be surprised if you outran a 600cc SS bike from the last decade as they're low 11 high 10 bikes generally.

    Ducati, Bugati, U-naughty, he-snotty...I'm not hip to the scene of cratch rackets. LOL! But thanks for correcting my ignorance Shane.

    Huyabusa...that's the other one. Thanks. Whatever happened to just good old cratch racket ricer bikes Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda? It was so much easier then.
