You guys are too young to get this correct. Metric implies anything Oriental, and late model Euro. Imperial also encompasses anything acceptable to a real old school biker. Many manufacturers from England also fill the bill, long gone names like Norton, Triumph, BSA. Metric bikes screech, scream, whine, or sound like jets. The automotive equivalent of anything from Toyota to Porsche. "Regular" bikes rattle windows, and thump the earth. Like an Olds Rocket v-8 for comparison.
