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!!!
