My assumption of squids going with the GSX-R was because of the huge red "R" on the side of the bike. That way, unsuspecting people will know that the "R" means business and it can't be missed. Hence the tard attraction to the Suzi. Fine bikes, I don't knock them (too much), but it's thesquid bike of choice.

Well, again...I think you are making assumptions and not looking at recent track and sales history.

Not kocking you...everyone is entitled...

But now the best 600 has two R's...though admittedly not as noticeably displayed as the GSX-R.

I don't think Suzuki or Honda want to be known as promoting an unsafe or unsavory product.

Which is what typical Mary Smith thinks when she reads a 2 paragraph article on those "dangerous sportbikes"...

It would be wise for the big 4 to promote a wear gear campaign...as well as a don't act like an idiot on our product please campaign.

(If I were doing the campaign...I would show some squid in a T-shirt doing a 90 mph wheelie in the HOV lane, and have announcer in-tone,
If you just have to be an idiot and do this...then at least cover yourself...*cue to fully outfitted rider 90mph wheelie*..."we have and want to have a good image and a safe prouct. So, at least with more clothes on...no one can positively identify you with our product."


"In other words...we don't hang with squids"...

Aaaanddd...cut)

The industry makes more money...the typical public's perception is satiated...and everyone is happy.

Also, the group of people who "pimp their ride" will get mad...and go away.

Typical, knee-jerk, emotional, non-logical reaction.

ya suzukis are killer bikes, but whoever said the **** abotu the big red R, thats funny as **** and probably true, most squids when they talk they never mention performace stats like bmg is saying, or track history, all they say is gixxer so i dont think they know any of that **** bmg just said even tho its sooo true

I just want to know who told all these damn squids thats its cool to hit the rev limiter 3-4 times as soon as you start your bike up? Come on! It makes me cringe, minty bike and thier bouncing the limiter while their thumb is still on the start button.
