Crotch-rockets are also very cool. I'm not a fan of Suzuki, but Yamaha is awesome.

However, crotch-rockets are not at all the same thing as muscle cars or sports cars. They go fast and usually handle relatively well, but they are very different machines.

It makes sense that something much smaller and lighter would cost less and can potentially go faster that something larger and heavier, such as a car. You get what you pay for and, in terms of a motorcycle, you have a lot less than if you had a sports or muscle car.

Also, in my opinion, motorcycle styling doesn't begin to compare to the styling ques found on muscle cars and sports cars. Crotch-rockets generally look very much alike and are very similar in proportion. At least, if you compare the difference between different makes and models of crotch-rockets with the difference between different makes and models of sports or muscle cars.

I'm not at all against motorcycles. I love crotch-rockets (and custom American choppers) and would love a Yamaha YZF-R1 someday. I just think it's unfair to compare a crotch-rocket to a sports/muscle car.
