I'd say the GSXR 1000 has got to be overall the baddest machine ever created

I just can't get over the "Gixxer" stigma. Maybe if i could be known as a GSX-R rider instead. Plus i've been in love with the last 2 generations of R1, but that is changing this year. It's been a long time since the Suzuki was the best looking jap litre bike....

I've also avoided certain bikes because of the "taint" they had on them. The 750 Gixxers and the CBRs to name two. I clung to Yamaha even tho' for all intents and purposes both the Honda a nd the Suzuki were far superior. I finally came around in 2000 when I took my YZF1000 in for it's 3rd engine rebuild. |

It may be location that determine's a bike's popularity and with what crowd. For the longest times Ninja's were the most popular bike here. Everybody had a green ninja. I think they're still pretty damn popular here, but the zuks are closing in on them pretty fast. I see just a little more gixxers (any of them) than I do 'busas. Most of those on 'busas here drag race.
One of the reasons I love my bike is because unless you ride a sport bike, most don't know it's an SV. Although I get my fair share of asking if its' a ninja or a gixxer.  Gotta love the guys who try to impress me with knowledge they don't have, especially when they try to combine two completely different bikes that's nowhere near being correct.  I've always liked the gix's. I think I'd be real happy with a 600.

Yut-ughhh!
Nice looking ride for sure. The ass end of that thing looked like a transformer from the tailights down. I was waiting on it to transform any moment.
