I am having trouble with what to call the classes for the bike show at the Sportbike day on Aug 21st. One is going to be a Buell sportbike only class. The other will be for all the "other" brand sportbikes. I do not want to call it the "other brand" class and of course Jap bike,rice burner,and all other derogatory terms are not going to work for me. Soooo, I turn once again to the vast think tank known as Badweb for some ideas. Whatcha think? Dave | ||

how's about US, and Elsewhere/World/Non-US or you could subdivide non-US into Asian and European . . . . . | ||
| Mikej |
Are you going to separate the German from the Italian from the Japanese and so forth, or will it be one great big "non-Buell" class? If so then I'd say to make it real simple: Buell non Buell | ||
| Glitch |
Race Replica Class Full Fairing Class Chain Drive Class DOHC Class Liquid Cooled Class or The Holds more than 2 1/2 quarts of oil class | ||

(Dang, beat me by 20 seconds.) | ||
| Bomber |
ah, the dangers of asking an apparently simple question on this board . . . . .way more data than expected . . . .go have some cool aid, Dave | ||

You could always break the classes by number and type of citations earned. Then use the accumulated dollars paid in fines in the event of a tie. | ||
| Bluelightning |
Buell Plastic Bikes OR naked and Faired, but you'd have to let other bikes into the Buell catagory | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Plastic bikes?? Umm have you seen just what an XB9R is made of???? | ||
| Crusty |
Why not just have a Buell class and a Sportbike class? That way, nobody's sensibilities will be offended. | ||
| Sea_monkey |
Buells, Imports, and break up the imports in to Jap, Brit and Europe. Special construction, Race and Race replica. But doing a show is kinda like Battle Trax you are going to have to assign classes when you see what ya got. | ||
| Bluelightning |
To be honest, I guess my X-1 would fall into that "plastic bike" category. But then again, I do have a custom aluminum tank and a fiberglass fairing going on, so Hybrid? | ||
| Robr |
Metric and Non-Metric Sportbikes? Rob | ||
| Blackbelt |
DYNA i am still laughing at your classifications... i take it your R1 falls under the OMG class? | ||
| Daves |
OK, so you guys see my dilema. I thought about Buell class and sportbike class but that would infer(and I know some here think this way) that Buells are not sportbikes, which they are. Buell and Import might work? Pushrod and OHC might work but from what I've seen of sportbike riders, they won't know what a pushrod is. Dave | ||
| Whodom |
How about "U.S. sportbike" and "International sportbike"? | ||
| Bomber |
Us and Them are likely not gonna get the reaction you're looking for . . . . . .I think US and International is a great way to go | ||
| Zenfrogmaster |
ROW - rest of world (depending on where Sportsters end up) | ||
| Daves |
Well since it's a sportbike show, there won't be any sportsters in it. They are a cruiser. Dave | ||
| Whodom |
Dave- the guys over on the Cafe Sportsters group at Yahoo would argue with you about that! Admittedly, the Sportsters as built by HD today are cruisers, but it wasn't always that way.... | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
Thumpers (super motards and Blasts) US V-twin Import V-twin (for the Ducs, Aprilias and SV's) Import IL3 and IL4 (speed triples and everyone else) WTF do I know though?...I'm bakin' in the desert! | ||
| Cj_xb |
Kinda fast Fast Really Fast OMG im gonna die fast. Dyna's gets my vote !!  Seriously thought this one's good too !! "U.S. sportbike" and "International sportbike"? CJ | ||
| Buellkowski |
Beer terms: Domestic class & Import class.  | ||
| Outrider |
How about the same classes they are in for AMA Pro Racing? Then add classes as required for the mutants. LOL | ||
| Midknyte |
You guys are missing the opportunity to call Buells "Exports" | ||
| Outrider |
Midknyte...That is the best idea yet!!!  | ||
| Bads1 |
How about this one Dave???? The Buell class The I want a buell class. I shoulda bought a Buell class. And finally I bought a Buell from Dave class.  | ||
| Glitch |
I like the Import & Export one... | ||
| Crusty |
I like Import & Export, as well | ||
| Midknyte |
<bow> </bow> Dave, I still think you ought to call attention to the Buells with a "Naked Bike" Wash. | ||
| Cyclonemick |
twins and in-lines | ||
| Timbo |
Continent categories, American Asian European That shouldn't offend anyone. | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Cyclone, but what about inline twins or V-4's or triples? Maybe a Boss Hoss will show up? | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Personally, I think if you want a classification for Buells only, you should be upfront about it, "Buell" & "Non Buell" If you go for Domestic & Import you're likely to end up with folk whingeing about US built Honda's etc etc If you go metric & non metric where do Buell's fit? If you're feeling in a "don't give a toss" mood on the day, go for "Buell" & "Other Crap" but take a baseball bat with you just in case, Dyna, A Boss Hoss? Only if there's a straight road into the site I like Midknyte's wash idea, could be a real crowd pleaser, Whatever happens don't forget to post some pics for those of us that can't make it (especially the wash)  | ||
| Daves |
Buell and Other crap!  Funny stuff but not really what I'm after. I think I'll just do the Buell and Non Buell. I'm only doing 2 classes so that will make it easy, simple to understand and no questions. Dave | ||
| Pushrodpete |
1) Restorables 2) Disposables | ||
| Cyclonemick |
Sorry Dyna, I guess I didn't think about the question to long. Boss Hoss definately a modified class or maybe the small block class. |
