"Bullet bikes" is also so yesterday. According to my college student son
they are "crotch rockets".

No, no, no, those are Honda VFRs, no one (riders, that is) considers
those bullet bikes, crotch rockets or cafe racers. They are, however,
probably one of the best (if not the best) all-round motorcycles ever
made, period, end of story. They are the "GT"s of the motorcycling
world. I liken them to the last Nissan 300ZX. And I *want* one (and
have wanted one for about 10 years now)! I am most jealous,
especially riding VFRs through Utah! Must have been wonderful!
The photos are *awesome*; wonderful work. Reminds me that I have some
photos of Utah taken with my OM-1 that I have to scan and upload. The
sky *really* does look like that there! Utah is incredibly beautiful,
they should make a national park of the whole state.
As for crotch rockets, I got yer crotch rocket right here:
