crotch rocket
Fast leaning bike
A crotch rocket is a high-performance sport motorcycle designed for speed and aggressive handling.
The term—mildly crude but not offensive—references the rider's straddling position on the bike: He showed up on some crotch rocket doing wheelies.
The style emphasizes aerodynamic fairings and a forward-leaning riding posture.
