Crotch rocket is a term used by senior citizens and Harley riders (basically the same thing) to describe a sportbike, a motorcycle designed for performance and not riding around trying to look like Easy Rider while your "hog" goes "potato, potato, potato, potato..."

You give me too much credit, Max.... I rode a UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle - the kind the rest of the world rides to work and back every day) for more than 20 years. "Crotch Rocket" was a generic term for any sportbike - not derogatory at all, more jealousy.

At least you didn't say rice burner, a term Hardly-Dangerous riders like to use. Unfortunately, the tend to slink away when I point out all the Japanese-made parts on their "American" machines...
