Gixxers rule.

Here's one thing I found funny. If you ask someone who rides say a 2006 GSX-1000R what they ride. They'll tell you they ride a "K6 Gixxer 1k". WTF? If I'm hearing this right K represents 1000 (Like $3k=$3,000). That tells me they ride a 1006 GSX-1000r(Talk about your vintage bikes).

Why can't they just say "I ride a GSXR1000/750/600"? You don't hear Kawasaki riders saying they have a "Zixxer 10" nor is a Honda rider going to hop on a "Cibber 600". Then damnit if you ride a "Yezfur 6". Or damn what if you ride a KTM. Do you ride a Kaytum?

Let's see, I've heard of Ducatis being called Ducks(and rattle cans,dry clutch), Kawasakis called Cows, FZRs called Fizzers, ZXs called Zedexs, KTMs called katooms, CBRs called Fireblades, CBR600s called Hurricanes,F2s,F3s,F4s and F4is,KX and EX bikes called Ninjas, BMWs called Beemers,YZF1000Rs called Thunderblades and YZF600Rs called Thundercats(haha) or Thunderkittens(my fav),Katanas called Kan o tunas, Even R1 and R6 is technically a nickname cause the model designation is YZF-R1/6, Harleys called Hogs, Yamahas called Bamahas, Husquarna(sp) called Huskies, Hayabusas called 'Busas,need I go on? Some of these are nicknames,some the oems stick the bike with. I've never heard my bike refered to the way YOU describe but I have seen GSXR1000K6 for example or GSXR1K6. Whatever,it never fails to amaze me the lengths you guys will go to to try and denigrate arguably the most successful and winningest motorcycles in history. Especially,recent history. So nyahh,nyahh,nyahh!!!

If you actually read the first post instead of just getting worked up about everything anyone else says and then spewing worthless drivel through your keyboard, you'd notice that a buddy on my local forum posted this up, just as I have done here. And he didn't get it from a gixxer forum.

Shhhhhh....I was trying to start a fight,it's been kinda dead around here lately! Besides,I was trying to start something with the nickname part of the post.
Besides,you don't even normally read my posts so what do you care what I type? Wacka wacka!

Ill respond to that being as Im the only one who rides one on this board. Thundercat is the model name for the European version of the bike which is virtually identical to the US version. The thunderkitten im guessing is the obvious fact that they are quite tame bikes.

So if yesterday was youre birthday, shouldnt you be the 43 year old kid now?

Well I've heard nicknames for many other bikes. But usually at a bike night when you ask someone what they ride. If you ask someone who rides a CBR600rr they'll say at the least a 600rr but normally they'll say a CBR600rr. Never heard someone call a CBR600 a Hurricane except the F1s.

Which I see the point about the K stuff. I call my bike an F3. But the F3 represents from 1995-1998. Honda doesn't have a CBR600 F1 for 1991, f2 for 1992, f3 for 1993, f4 for 1994 and so on.

Unless I'm missing something and every year the GSXR line goes through a major remodel(Say the different between an F2 and an F3 or an F3 and a F4) I could understand saying you have a GSXR600 K4. And say the GSXR600 K4 stayed unchanged between the years 2003-2006 then yeah that makes sense.

Basically it just seems cheesy to me to say I have a "K4 Gixxer 1000". Just tell me it's a 2004 GSXR1000. Now if you did say "I have a 2004 GSX-1000r" I would make fun of you too.
