Anyone else ever get this? I'm talking to a girl Ive known for a while about my klx250sf and she says "yeah I rode on the back of this dudes sport bike once. It was awesome!"
I offered to take her for a ride some time.
Her reply..."no I like real motorcycles yours is just a dirtbike"

...WTF?!?!?!?!!!!!!

 

I believe you have just discovered why only old farts ride dual-sports and sport bikes are as popular as they are.

Sorry I have no advise what to do about it.

tell em to go fack themselves and take them to a nice tight twisty area then see there reaction

 

Spoken like someone who values flash over function, the world is full of them and their opinions safely ignored. Her loss.

Just a dirtbike? Shoot, this forum is full of people who have never gotten over their dirt bike jones and bought the KLX because - not in spite - of it's dirtbike heritage. I'm waaaaay past the point of caring what other people think of my little thumper, it serves my need just fine thanks.

 

There, fixed it for you.

Sorry. I couldn't resist. All this talk about girfriends and thumpers just took my mind to gutter....

Challenge her to go for a ride through the dirt, and perhaps launch off a woop. Hell if you dump her off you might knock the snob out of her!!

 

hahaha, enjoy what you have. No matter what bike you ride, there is always someone that will try and put your ride down.

 

one more form over function chick. never had a girl do that here, most the time they ask how im riding a dirt bike on the street.

 

that would be funny to hear

 

Who cares about that kind of chick ?
After all, having a little tiny engine and a uncomfortable saddle is a good reason to leave GF home and have some fun with the boys !
