Para motociclistas - Me "late" que es un lenguaje, o slang, o muy popular
Estamos comparando motoristas (motociclistas) de calle y de campo. El texto dice literalmente:
"It's easy to think of ourselves (motorists) as either street or dirt riders, as if our machines rather than our skills defined us. But I've seen some heavy machines *sporting proof they have experienced* off-pavement missions..."
No he podido encontrar en español un significado aceptable para esto. Muchísimas gracias, en especial a los "motonetos."

"sport" en inglés equivale a menudo a "hacer gala de". Vamos, que implica un cierto elemento de orgullo. Las cicatrices de su experiencia.

: "sporting iproof" is English jerga for "Demonstrating/showing". In this case the vehicles will probably be showing signs of damage and/or which proves that they have been off pavement (US) off-road (BrE). One can be "Sporting" almost anything - clothes

De ahí mi nota sobre "hacer gala de algo"; "lucir" también podría usarse.

EL término "sport" tiene más que ver con "lucir", "ostentar", pero en español no iría bien por una cuestión de uso combinado con "proof". Y en este caso hay que modificar el gerundio por una relativa porque si no, sería incorrecto.
