another epic gixxer.com thread

I have no words for how dumb this guy is.

Since this sort of post shows up all the time on that site... Really? They haven't figured out that gixxers are squid bikes?

The guy you quoted is a regular on the WERA board, and unless I'm mistaken, also an STT coach.

I'm shocked to see he has 93,000 posts on that site. I don't always agree with "Moto_Joe" but he is definitely a competent rider, and not the stereotypical GSX-R squid.

4 out of 5... So those sissy worrying engineers at Suzuki over-did it with 5 reinforced, CAST engine mounts.

It's not like there have ever been any strength / cracking issues with INTACT / UNCOMPROMISED gsx-r frames before.

You're gonna try opening-up the throttle, or you'll be at speed, hit a bump and your frame will start opening-up on one side at first. You'll instinctively hit the front brake* and you'll be on the back half of a gsx-r

Not true, although squids who ride Gixxers do make themselves well known. Nobody posting into the thread liked his engineering very much but disagreed in a nice way.
