When a local Marine base closed several years ago somebody remarked that the main effect would be "fewer Trans Ams wrapped around telephone poles on the weekend."
High CID + Low GVW = FUN!

This illustration derives itself from an unforgettable exchange I had while filling my Brava with high test just after leaving work. ...Nimbly dismounting her solid red bike, a svelte young woman slipped her helmet off, then shook her blonde hair loose. ...
"Nice bike,"? I said.
Half turning my way with her helmet in hand she spoke two words in a soft, throaty voice, "Fast bike"?.
"Nice helmet"?, I added.
"Expensive helmet", was her second two word reply, this time with a hint of wariness. I had finished checking my tires and was returning the fuel nozzle to its pump hanger as she walked past to pay at the attendant's booth.
"Take me for a ride", was my flirtatious compliment toward her bike and admiration for her riding spirit. She couldn't have been more than twenty-two at most. Giving me a sidelong glance and the merest wisp of a friendly smile, she spoke her third two word reply, "Not insured".

I suspect the conversation probably went more like this:
Nice bike.
As if you would know.
Like my Brava? It's Italian, just like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
It's a Fiat, you dork.? Fix It Again Tony!? Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha...
