n. 1. Originally coined by oldschool bikers in the early 80's, a derogatory and borderline rascist term used to describe Japanese and other import motorcycles which were not Harley Davidsons or made in the USA.

2. Adapted from it's original meaning in the mid 90's, a term used to describe an R-Type vehicle based on the phrase "riced up", which denotes a heavily modified car that is usually an import, where the cost of the actual modifications usually exceed the vehicles bluebook value.
1. "That Kawasaki Ninja isn't a real bike, it's just a piece of shit rice burner"

2. "You bought that Honda Civic for $8,000 and put $16,000 worth of junk into that rice burner"

1) One who burns rice. 2) Stovetop heat generator manufactured specifically for over-cooking rice. 3) Modified import economy cars. Modifications might include suspension, engine, exhaust or visual modifications. Roughly 2% of the cars taking part in this phenomenom are true performance machines. The remaining 98% are made up of strictly superficial modifications and are just sad attemps that do little more than show the need of the driver to stand out from, and above, their peers. Unfortunately their efforts generate the opposite effect.
1)Chad is a rice burner. 2)Chad bought a new G.E. rice burner at Sears. 3)Chad locked his keys in his rice burner when he went to the mall.

a Honda Civic.
a loud high-pitched, annoying japanese car that tipically has the biggest possible muffler or fart pipe that will fit on the car. They also tend to have a huge ridiculous wing on the rear of the car.
What's that noise, is it a lawn mower?" "Nah bro, it's another rice burner.

The outcome of putting a JC Whitney catalog in the hands of a Burger King fry cook who got his mom's civic when he turned 16. Just because it SOUNDS powerful, doesn't mean it is!
Wait, you mean that big, gay-looking wing, the body kit and 22" wheels add weight to the car and actually slow it down?? Next you're gonna tell me that 4 15" subs and 3 600 watt amps make the car heavier too!

Any automobile of asian origen which has been carelessly modifyed by a person with an IQ equal to the capacity of the gas tank. Usually classifyed by a paint job that would have blind men running to gouge their eyes out, enough Nitrous Oxide to make Hiroshima duck and cover, and an exhast pipe that would appear to have enough diameter to launch a watermelon over the Effiel Tower.

Recommended location for such a phenomenon:

Under the tire of a vehicle that actually is more threatening and powerful than an electric razor

taken from the japanease peeps. A rice burner is a nice way of saying your car sucks and if you actually race one your cool 40 inch coffee can exhaust will fall off and that the rear wing spoiler on your stupid ricer is useless. First of all the wing must be attatched to the frame of the car not the trunk. second of all most of the wings you see create lift instead of down force. This could possibly be a japanease manufacturing default or that they just don't know anything about cars. The third problem is that even if the wing is creating downforce and is attatched to the frame the stupid ricer is front wheel drive.
Any car that has a folgers coffee can as exhaust.
