I was thinking the same, but I figured it was an inside joke... seeing as how GSXR was plastered on the side lol

This thread has been up since the morning... either the /26 is losing its edge or we've finally grown tired of hearing msfgearinsurance

I really like the gsxr they look decent and ride quite nice actually. The only thing that stops me from buying one is my honda loyalty and for some reason they seem to be the weapon of choice for squids around the world.

No kidding! I went to the beach this past weekend and out of about 500+ bikes Gixxers took up about 480 of those spots.

i think Gixxers come with stickers that say "no gear required" on these things..wife beaters, shorts and flip flops..lol

I had that same "honda loyalty" too. That's why I bought the RC51 instead of the SV650. But when I realized even though Honda is great, they don't make everything I want to suit my needs. But, other companies might. So I bought a suzuki, and it's been just as good as owning a honda.

My friend is on his 7th or 8th bike, I can't remember. Lots of different brands, and styles, and he's never had significant problems with any of them, other than his triumph.

I was about to buy a squids dream gixxer, lots of chrome and custom paint but the guy only returned one of my calls and then ignored me. Then I realized I am a lazy bastard and due to where I live (as seen in the pics) keeping a chromed out bike looking good would take too much time.

although I only have ridden it from where I bought it to my house I think I like the way it rides more than my old cbr. it feels more stable and planted. I still have to get accustomed to the seating position but that should not take long.

Oh, the irony of this coming from not only a honda owner, but the fanboi honda bike of all time, the RC51....

Not sure what you mean? For one, this is a Honda forum. (raises another question, WTF are you doing on here anyways?) Secondly, RC51s are not everywhere and its not a stunt bike of choice.

So, yet again, your an *** as usual and look even more ridiculous every time you post some smart remark.

You are very knowledgeable and can be very helpful sometimes but the other 90% you're just being an ***.

Have a good day!
