When I started riding motorcycles around 1975 I would have said exactly what you just said. Over the years I've morphed. My taste has always been lightweight sport type motorcycles. I am not a cruiser/Harley guy. As a result I rode one of the original '80's BMW R100S bikes for 16 years and then Ducati sport bikes for 26 yrs. Now on my 3rd yr of a Triumph Speed Triple. These days I ignore most labels and just describe myself as "en moto."
