Biker slang
Saw this site, has all the biker slang ever used for every manufacturer of motorcycles.
http://www.mattsphotos.com/bikerslang/manufacturer.html
Check out the Kawi ones:
Bowling Ball = same as Goatsbelly
BUBF = Butt Ugly But Fast ( A Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 'A' Model)
COG = Kawasaki Concours Owner's Group
Ear's = Air boxes (i.e.: on a Kawasaki VN750 or VN1500A or any Virago)
FlexiFlyer = 1970s 2-stroke Kawasaki 500/750, lots of go, really bad frames.
GBIS = Gorgeous But it's Slow ( A Kawasaki 1500 Classic )
Goatsbelly = The ugly silencing chamber in the exhaust system of later model Vulcans
HBUBF = Hairy-Butt-Ugly-But-Fast (term for the Kawasaki Vulcan 750)
Honda 750 Killer = Kawasaki 900 Z
Kwak = British term for Kawasaki
Kwaker , Kaw (pronounced cow) = Kawasaki
Nad = Nomad 1500G
OPG = The infamous plastic Oil Pump Drive Gear used in Kawasaki Vulcans
V8 = Vulcan 800 (any Model any year )
VRA = Vulcan Rider's Association
VROC = Vulcan Riders and Owners Club

Its not me, I'm not fond of them. I just copied and pasted the Kawi related stuff...thought some of them was kinda funny.
What bike sland do you use? Like calling a poser a hanger queen.

I amnot really big on the slang myself, the way I look at it you are either a bike rider, or a biker, I care to think of myself as a biker.......

If Kawi cut out the entire Vulcan line, wouldnt they make more money? It's not like Ducati makes a cruiser, just sportbikes.

Ducati doesn't amount to a pimple on Kawi's rear end. Plus Duacati is government subsidized as well. And as Swft pointed out above if Kawi and the other Japanese manufactures really were looking at profit only, most of the sports bikes we like as well as our 12s and busa's wouldn't be there. Our sales are low and the risk of law suits and warranty are higher with sport bikes. Most of the Italian manufactures actually survive on Scooter sales and build the sports bikes for ego and fun.
