Yes, you are absolutely right!!!! I just goggled "crotch rocket" and that is exactly what I saw on yesterday. Did I use the correct name? Is it still a motorcycle or is it another name? As you can tell, I know nothing about motorcycles.
Thanks for letting me know what it was.
With few exceptions, the younger motorcycle drivers seem to go for those things. Yes, it's still a motorcycle, but designed more for speed and maneuverability than it is for comfort. We frequently make five, six hour trips on DH's harley and despite my spine issues I can be completely comfortable on the back of it. I wouldn't last 15 minutes on the back of a crotch rocket.
DH and I once witnessed a young guy on a CR not only speeding through town (40 MPH speed limit) but doing wheelys and texting while doing it. Had DH been on duty, that guy would have received so many citations he'd be middle-aged before he could pay them all off.
This is what DH's bike looks like:

Not only are the "stunts" you see them do with the CRs impossible with a bike this heavy, but trying them on it would likely leave you with a $24,000 pile of junk.
That's a beauty ya got there. I can't believe that guy was doing wheelys AND texting!!!
That is scary!!!!!!!

We attended Daytona Bike Week in 2007 and saw lots of Harleys, Indians, Honda Goldwings, even those 8 cylinder monsters. Also way too many CRs. Arriving back at the mobile home park - God's waiting room - where my dad lives late at night, we had to push that harley two blocks from the entrance to the park to dad's driveway. That's enough exercise to last me for months.
Both here and in western NC (where I'm from) a sports bike is a crotch rocket and quite often, a rice burner.

Bike week is fun. I have been to that a couple of times. That really sucks having to push thay heavy bike that far. I think i would have
When i got done. And everyone has their own names for everything. I take no offence in it. I was just always one of the few responsible ones on my CR. To dangerous to own down her in florida though.

When we stopped to get something to eat while at bike week we met an older lady (late 60s, maybe?) that stopped at the BK to get her grandsons something to eat. She was driving an older heritage softail converted with a sidecar. One of her GSs rode behind her and the younger one in the sidecar. When she got ready to leave her bike wouldn't start. We stayed with her until her husband was able to bring a trailer up to Daytona (she was from Melbourne). She graciously offered to let us spend the night at her house, but we chose to ride back to my dad's instead. It's only about a 3 1/2 hr. ride from Daytona to my dad's house, but after being on the bike all day I was never so glad to get off that thing.

I saw a guy last week texting while riding his bike down the road. He dropped it while doing 45 MPH

Dropped the bike or the phone? Dropping a bike at any speed usually involves the loss of some skin.

Incredibly poor etiquette, but about what I expect of the crotch rocket crowd - there's a reason they aren't often invited to join group rides. I've yet to meet one who knew how to ride in formation and understood group riding rules.
Fwiw, my husband is a MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) coach, we're both fully endorsed riders and both involved in the Patriot Guard. We ride a metric cruiser.
Also, FYI: A Goldwing isn't a cruiser, its a touring bike.
