It's more of a product or word assoiation, the folks that own them and all. I have ridden many GSX-R's and thier nice bikes, but so are all of the big 4 Jap bikes, I just prefer the fit, finish and durability of Honda. I have many friends who ride GSX-R's and they are great guys and gals, but they would be so no matter what they rode. GSX-R's just have the whole marketing thing down pat, and they appeal to allot of folks. Guys who read the mags see that the GSX-R is faster so they get it, never mind it is only 1/10th faster than brand "X" ridden by a pro rider, they just see it as the latest and baddest bike and they get it. I hate civics, not so much for the car, but all the punks I see who drive em, rattle-can paint jobs, loose boddy parts, a stupid loud exhaust and to top it off some ******* with a bulletproof attitude driving the damn thing. Now, I know not all civic guys are jerks, just 90% of the ones I run into are, so I can't help but lump em into the same group. Same with GSX-R's, but more often than not I tend to like anyone til they give me a reason not to.

I might get flammed for this but I think that the GSX-R would have the best looking bike if they got rid of the cyclops light and went with the sharp dual lights like the Honda's, not so wide as the R1's but more conservative. I like the style and the tail section is #1 of all of em, they come with the cowl which is a plus, and it has that sharp, shark look to it. Always liked their color schemes too. Have no doubt, I dig hondas and have always only owned CBR's, but I can appreciate aspects of other bikes, regardless of maunufacturer.

Smitty that has backfired on ya. Tried to start **** and aaaaaaa nothing.


OK here you go I hate the GSXR because every punk kid thaty has a few bucks and no brain thinks they can ride one. and I have found that most of them can not. (their are some done kill me) but the GSXR is cheeper and they have the markiting down (quote shocktroop) so you see them everywhere.

I have ridden GSXR, BUSA, R1, Ninjaand they are all great bikes I even had a BMW test ride and I loved the new sportbike they have out very well balanced. You will be hard pressed to find a bad big 4 bike now days their is just too much at stake for them to take a big risk on something new.

More squids than average.

They really are nice bikes, espescially if you can tune in the soft suspensions. Oh, and I find the 06 1k gixxer to have a VERY uncomfortable seat!
