Nothing compares to the experience on two wheels.

I've had a Nissan Sentra and even a V6 Mustang try to outrun me on my Gixxer from a red light. I just don't get it. Perhaps it's because these unassuming drivers don't know what the phrase 'power-to-weight ratio' means. 120 hp in a car is weak, but on a speedbike ... ZZZZZZZZZZOOOM!!!

Then there's the Respect Factor. When was the last time an oncoming E60 driver on a two way highway/street gave you the two-finger peace sign as you drove past each other? On a bike, >90% of the riders out there give you the peace sign. Now THAT'S respect!

Very nice looking cycle, but doesn't stand out.

The tail looks like it came straight of a Suuz.

The bike needs more outstanding design features....
