Default harley and sports bike stereotypes ?

what are they? What are some general characteristics of a harley rider and a sports bike rider? are those the only two category of motorcycle riders?

also what are some good sites that have User reviews of motorcycles, not just expert and critic reviews.

thank you very much


i am Asian in 20s, but I actually fancy the Harley model more right now (the night rod model in particular). i personally am starting to think the sportsbike is a little juvenile, and the Harley exemplifies a more powerful stature and presence. but what kind of image does an Asian on a Harle portray (for example, or not even Asian, anything you want)?

i agree with chopper. the FACTS are that harleys have a shorter life do to the large displacement v twin wich has great tourqe but will rattle itself apart. most are carborated and if you know a little about cars bike or genral mechanics you know there are dozens of reasons why fuel injection is better even there newer bikes are. dont get me wrong i like harleys. but having your hands up on big ape hangars for 60 miles while shaking your intestins out isnt my idea of a relaxing ride or comfy transportation. and a sport bike most have 4 cylinder v or inline wich give a smoother ride more reliability and now im almost positive every newer bike has fuel injection the only downside i see to a sport bike is you look like a monkey ****ing a football. but you get great handleing on those country roads get good fuel milage and when you roll back the throttle your bike smoothly but quickly accelerate making your ride more enjoyable
