l am not trying to insult anyone; I am just curious. Do they need the torque more than horsepower? Is it more roomier for a belly? Is the low CG and bike is suspension better set up for fat guys? Do prenat women prefer to ride Harleys?

There must be ergonomic considerations because l NEVER see heavy guys on sportbikes.

because a heavy guy on a sportbike would look ridiculous

LOL, l am not a guy, nor overweight, nor pregnant .and l do ride a Harley. There is a mix on Harleys. l do believe that l have not seen any large dudes on crotch rockets..but u have to look at the posture on it.it would not be conducive to a larger frame (but what do l know.. l think they r uncomfortable as hell).
Harley is a great ride & the weight is distributed perfectly for me ( l am short & small framed). l am in the smallest bike, the 883L ,but l have heard from all my girlfriends that ride (vrod, nightrod, dynaglide) that they r very good with the weight distribution as well.

because harleys have wide handlebars to hold the extra fat rolls

Fat guys ride Harleys because the Harley boutiques sell clothes for fat riders. Try finding a XXXXL Joe Rocket Jacket.

The problem is overweight-fat guys have a big disadvantage to impress the women, but they try to make up for it with owning and riding a Harley, thinking the Harley they own will impress the women.

They don't! Not ride ONLY Harley's, that is.
l am 6'4 185 lbs, ride a Harley.
A co-worker of mine is 5'7 350 lbs, rides a Honda!
How is THAT fit into your (obviously) flawed theory?

Because this is what happens when you put too much weight on a sport bike.

l am not picking on small or large people or the type of bike they ride.

It just makes sense that a larger person would ride a Harley (or for that matter a cruiser).

1. There is not much space for any ''extra'' weight on a sportbike although l have seen guys that exceed 250lbs dragracing Busa's. There was/is a class for the heavier guys also.

2. Any cruiser is going to be more comfortable for a larger man/women to ride. Compare these two sitting on a bar stool with ur feet tucked twoard the back of the stool or sitting in a nice comfortable recliner. You cant compare the two if comfort & riding r the objective (and weight is an issue).

This is what matters, The love to ride no matter what size (bike or person)

l feel sorry for the people that have answered this question in a negative manner. Any Brand, Any Model, Any Size. If u have a prejudice twoard people or motorcycles IT IS YOU PROBLEM & only yours, u need help or friends (thats a different subject im not qualified to answer any further on, nor do l want to answer it further).

BTW l am 5foot 10inches & 195. average build (could use to loose 10lbs, but really, what concern of that is yours anyway?) .

RIDE SAFE AND HAVE A BLAST, were only here once & we only get one body, if someone else does not like it to HECK with them & RIDE ON.

Why do you care? Does it bother you? People who ride, love to ride. Does not matter what size they are. If bikes were to care, they would care about ugly people too. Are you ugly? Why do you feel the need to point this out? l call it your own self insecurities. Take a pill and chill.

So, what kind of guys are you looking for?
This past wknd l saw a lot of fine women piloting their own Harleys.
