Which scenario breeds the better rider?

I dunno, there are some folks out there who can throw down on a cruiser

I was going to say dirt bike riders seem to make a pretty good rider overall. But what the hell do I know.

In reality it'll be the guy that is willing to explore the limits of whatever bike he's on and has the skill to use it. Yes a sportbike is more capable but if all the rider does is run fast on the straights and cruise the main drag... There are a lot of sportbike riders out there that can only outrun me on a straight.

I'd agree with Homeslice, the one that started on dirt at 5 and never quit riding

For what it's worth, I intentionally left dirt bikes and riders off. I fall in that category of starting out early as a kid on dirt bikes so I agree with that school of thought.
