Interesting that its the same everywhere.
Personally I would rather ride something that's not so original....
It just looks funny when you pull into the parking lot at bike night and see nothing but a sea of Gixers!

 

what are you talking about mang...my mom has a hayabusa.
lots of gixxers out...and they seem to be the squid bike of choice too...and R6...not to say no squids on RRs, but they just want what they think are the baddest bikes out there...too bad they don't know that it's the rider...it's all good mang...i just feel bad when they can't keep up with my f4i and then feel all sad...ah....it's ok....poor baby...it's ok...

 

Gsx-rs are pretty popular down here in el paso as well. not nearly as popular as the kawasaki zx6r though. everyone and their pet enchillada has one. friend of my brothers (the kid is spoiled rotten) just got a zx6r, wrecked it going 70mph, fixed it and wrecked it again going80mph and severed his thumb. and thats only the first 5 days he had the bike! they sure know how to ride down here!

 

Yeah here in East TN there are ALOT of gxsr's but the guys i ride with all have hondas except one he has a 2005 kawasaki zx6r....but yeah gxsr's are everywhere

 

At my office theres over 150 cars and 10 bikes 5 of them are gixers 1 honda ;-) one kawi and a yamaha and two harleys... I heard about a year ago that the mark-up on the gixer was 4K here in vegas.

 

Must be an east coast thing but we refer to the R1 as a mustang or an a$$hole. Everyone has one. Gixxers are common.... but we see more R1 around here and there were a lot of them at deals gap over the week end.

 

Lot's of GSXR 1K and R1's around here (Houston, TX). Hardly any Hondas, but if you do see a Honda it's usually an F4i.

 

actually had an older gsxr 1100. good powerful bike. im originally from florida and id say that about 60-65% were gsxr's. i also heard that they are easily financed too. my buddy and his girlfriend just bought 600's at the same time so they are out there. i actually like my honda a little better so far.

 

Well, when you think of it, there are only 3 top bikes (Yamaha Suzuki and Honda). Honda is usually the bike for the more conservative rider, who does not care too much for having the most HP, but rather a well-rounded bike that will be reliable and have good re-sale value.

That leaves Yamaha and Suzuki. So of course it's not surprising that all we see are gixxers and R6's/R1's. With the occassional sprinkle of Italian bikes.

 

so, here's a stupid question of something I saw a few posts above, but what's a squid (other than the thing that swims around)? I've never heard that term before. Is that like a poser? Also what constitutes a poser exactly? Not to hi-jack the thread, just curious.
