Two stroke dirt bikes are being phased out here in the US and I've never seen a recent two stroke street bike.Its all about what you would call 'crotch rocket ' style, e.g superbike.
Im trained as amotorcycle mechanic so this is my expertise i guess lol.
My dad has a 08 plate daytona 675, he doesnt know but iv had a sneaky go and is ridiculously quick.
Now, in america, i believe 2 strokes arnt easily avaliable?
Personally, im into scooters, yes scooters. Gilera runner 125's. Highly tuneable engines, they come stock with 10hp, and can be tuned to 3 times there power. will beat any superbike off the line and upto maybe 70mph. Yes on a scooter! mine is barely tuned, I have just a bolt on kit to raise it to 172cc and it power wheelies, crazy little things!
Very popular bikes to stunt aswell. Heres some guys that are well known form the scene, there only about 18 years old, maybe younger.

at about 37 seconds, basically the person driving the car was trying to keep up and the boy on the bike was wheelieing and getttign away lol. A 'pussy ole' is basically calling him a dick

Do not start off with a literbike (1000cc).
600cc's is more than enough power and more than enough speed for anybody, especially if this is your first bike.
Dont forget about the sport touring bikes like the SV650 or the Ninja 650R, again both are more than enough power for a beginner and still look sexy as hell.
I LOVE my 05' CBR600RR!

There was a time when I would have gotten a sport bike, taking turns and all, though I have problems with hypotension now .. it would probably be too much of a rush
The Harley type though, and being a fan of muscle cars, I'd get .. less dangerous (in a way since being safe is only half the equation ..)

Nothing beats a Harley Davidson motorcycle, nothing....
I bought my 2001 Harley Davidson Fatboy right off the showroom floor. Yeah, it's a major cost, add $900 bucks for Vance & Hines double barrel stagered mount chrome pipes, halagon dual chromed front lights. Another $1200 for additional custom chrome. The Fatboy has the fat cruiser look and you ride low in the seat. My pipes set off car alarms as I drive by parked cars. 1450 cc, 88 cubic inch V-Twin engine, talk about torque and power. The one thing I know 4sure is, that I look good on mine....

Cant beat the maneuverability of a sportbike. Ever.
Way safer IMHO.

Still blows my mind that anybody would destroy tires like that just to "look cool" on youtube/ in a parking lot/ anywhere.
Nobody around you thinks you're cool. You're loud and obnoxious.

After watching so many ppl on crotch rockets badly perform stunts, loose control doing wheelies, break bones, recover and start again lolz , this is a useless (more or less) but safer demonstration ..
Besides, go ask any crotch rocket fan how fast he's been, not exactly safe ..

My two wheels have never left the ground and I don't take my bike over 90 anywhere but the track.
Of course theres idiots on both sides. Sucks for us safe riders.

Yeah I fall in the former category.
I almost went into the back of a school bus, long story short I came out of a turn doing like 85+ saw a school bus with the sign deployed, slammed on the brakes with my rear tire locked from 85-0 lol. Still have NO idea how I maneuvered a bike with the rear tire sliding out from underneath around a fucking school bus.

I was riding the freeway with a busa the other day. We were passing each other in the speed lane doing an upwards of 120-130. Managed to run it to about 165, I still had a LOT of gear left, but I wasn't about to push it as I was already taking bends at like 120... Some other day when I have a cam on there I'll max it.
Sure is an insane feeling flying past traffic going 100mph faster than they are. The world stands still
FUN shit though haha we went blowing past these R1s doing like 130 and we all gave eachother the thumbs up, I'm sure they would have joined us but they had passengers, probably headed towards the track or something.
