Why do most riders on YA prefer sport bikes?

[A A]

Let's not turn this into an attacking cruisers or sport bike riders I'm just curious why all new riders seem to want a sport bike and most people on YA in general?

I know its cool and preferred among younger people although Im younger and ride a cruiser. Basically I figure sport bikes are fun but I like longer rides and like riding with my gf or gf's lol and a cruiser is much better for passengers as well.

Just curious why sport bikes appeal to more people on here?

ALso, that said if I had the money to have 2 bikes I'd probably pick up an older sport bike in addition to my cruiser but since I can't I'm happy with my bike.

Think of it this way.If your cruiser was a car it would be a clunky 1952 staition wagon.If my 2008 Ninga ZX10R was a car it would be a new Corvette.Which one would you buy if the price was about the same or the Corvette cost less.I know what I would pick.
