Why Buy a Sport Motorcycle?

A sport bike is designed to deliver optimized performance. These beasts of machines can hit jaw-dropping speeds and give heart-pounding adrenaline rushes. It's no surprise these models are often spotted on the race track, but they also offer thrilling highway riding experiences. We've created the following buyer's guide to help you decide whether a sport motorcycle is an ideal match for you. If you have any questions or want to explore sport motorcycles for sale, head over to Lawton Motorsports. Our dealership is based in Lawton, OK, and we also serve those in Edmond.

You Prioritize Performance

If you want exceptional performance, you want a sport motorcycle. Every aspect of the design, from the engine to the frame, is made with performance as the priority. Advanced suspension systems keep the riding experience smooth, even if the road's surface is bumpy. You'll feel as if you are gliding across the road! Large front and back tires increase the contact with the road's surface, making it easy to tackle tight turns. Stay in control of high speeds thanks to the high-performing brakes. These are a few of the many features that make sport motorcycles the ultimate riding experience.

You Want to Race

Those with a competitive spirit will love taking their sport bike out on the track. These models can hit the high speeds necessary to leave the competition eating your dust. Their impressive agility makes it easy to handle turns at high speeds. If you want to race, a sport bike is a perfect match. Most racers will seek out models in the superbike category (also called liter-class or literbikes). These sport motorcycles run off of engines with a displacement over 1000cc and are designed with racing in mind.

You Want Minimalist Style

Sport motorcycles stand out among the sea of bland commuter vehicles and bulky street motorcycles. These models are crafted with a streamlined, stripped-down aesthetic. Since weight is the enemy of speed, you won't find unnecessary features that only boost style and not performance. Instead, sport bikes are made with a minimalist approach. The frame is crafted from lightweight and expensive materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum. Usually, the frame is smaller than other street motorcycles. But it still is large enough to avoid being too affected by the drag of other motorists on the road. All of these design elements result in a slender, sleek style that will have you turning heads everywhere you ride.

You Can Handle the Aggressive Riding Position

One key aspect of sports bikes is the riding position. Foot pegs are placed higher than usual, which brings the rider's legs much closer to the body. When you hop on, you'll adopt a forward-leaning position. This helps the rider easily access the controls. This aggressive riding position helps riders hit high speeds and stay in control of their motorcycles.

But not everyone is compatible with this riding position. For example, some people suffer from chronic pain issues. Those with regularly aching joints or a sore lower back, for example, may find that the sport motorcycle riding position exacerbates their issues. It's wise to do test drives of sport bikes to see if your body can handle the riding position.
