Rice burners?

I've ridden Japanese sport bikes for the past 20 some years. I always got a kick out of Harley riders referring to them as rice rockets or rice burners. The Japanese have managed to engineer incredible performance into machines that are ludicrously underpriced for what you get. Until last year no German company (BMW) had a sport bike that could put out horsepower numbers like the Japanese, although the Bimmer still carries a price premium of almost 50%. Bang for the buck, it's hard to beat a Lancer Evo or WRX Sti.
