    Gixxer or Gixxer?

    I rarely invoke the word for confusion of its pronunciation. How do you say it?

    Now thats the opposite of how I see the mojority pronouncing it. But since you guys keep voting "bemused" its completely defeated the point of the poll. Why did I even put it in there??!?!?!

    cuz that's how it most closely comes out when you say G S X R super fast, which i'm pretty sure is where it comes from.

    jee ess ex ar -> jeeisixar -> gixxer with a J

    Re: Gixxer or Gixxer?

    Pronounced JIXX-ERR

    1. "Gixxer" is the easier way of pronouncing GSX-R. It's one of the baddest line of sport bikes around. Gixxers are too often bought by people who have little or no motorcycle-riding experience. Many people have gotten hurt or killed because they can't handle a bike of this magnitude. Only 1% (if not less) of those who ride Gixxers can actually use them to their full potential.

    2. gixxer
    A suzuki sport bike, series GSXR. Includes the GSXR-600, GSXR-750, GSXR-1000, GSXR-1100, and the Ultimate GSXR-1300 also referred to as Hayabusa.

    3. gixxer
    n- slang for Suzuki GSXR-a motorcycle of a type known as "sportbikes", "crotch rokets", or "superbikes", characterized by a remarkable ability to attain high speeds (145-210+ mph)and to manuver at these speeds. -competing in a market with the Honda CBR, Yamaha FZR, and Kawasaki ZX-R.

    4. Gixxer
    gixxer is a motorcycle gxs-r 1000, gsx-r 750, gsx-r 600 and other gsx-r...

    5. gixxer
    a Suzuki motorcycle sportbike

    6. Gixxer
    the word that means GSX-R, a suzuki supersport bike. Also, the fastest four letters on the planet.

    7. Gixxer
    ia blur; known to Yami & Huhnda owners as "a godlike motorcycle"

    8. Gixxer
    King of all bikes.

    9. gixxer
    fastest 4-stroke sportbike available under $15,000
    buy a used one for your first bike cause you probably will crash it

    10. Gixxer
    The ultimate, one and only, true sportbike.

    11. GIXXER
    Ultimate squid bike. Bought by people who think they'll look cool going down the road and leave 2.5" of chickenstrips on each side of the tires because they're too stupid to know how to lean over in a corner (or they're afraid of scratching up their knees since they're riding in shorts). Claimed to be "the best" by pretentious assholes who have no idea what handling really is. Normally people like this go through 3 or 4 back tires while the front still has about 5000 more miles to go. Ditch that supersquid shit and get something good, like an MV Agusta, Ducati, Aprilia, or Triumph Daytona.

    um...I owned an 05 gixxah 7fiddy...then an MV Brutale...then a 1098...back to a Gixxah 7fiddy a month or so ago. Ok...so I sold the 1098 because I need to pay my legal fees related to the divorce...BUT...the 7fiddy is much more usable on the street than the 1098...and more nimble. The 1098 had too much power. The 7fiddy is still the best all around bike I've ever been on...yes, better than the Brutale (although they are different beasts...Brutale was pretty amazing)

    technically, the hayabusa isn't a GSX-R... i suppose it's up for debate, cuz it has GSX and R in its designation, but it's not a GSX-R1300, it's a GSX1300R (Katana's were GSX-600F/GSX-750F). the GSX-R's are race reps, and there's no real way to differentiate between saying GSX-R ###(#) and GSX #### R



    not saying you're wrong, just the people from wherever you got that, as indicated (in blindingly obvious fashion) by numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10

    Re: Gixxer or Gixxer?

    i sat on an 08 gsx-r 600 yesterday and it was a lot more comfortable than the r6... im pretty sure it had a gel seat but owner said it didn't.

    i think it's the most comfy of all the 600s, I sat on a zx6r and didn't like it too much, and the newer R6 is even more uncomfortable than the 05. the honda is nice but I don't think it's as comfortable as the gixxer.

    just saying since most people bash on it... I wish it didn't have a bad image since it is a really good bike. Anybody know what made the whole "gixxer" history start? Why are people who don't know much about bikes and just want to do burnouts and wheelies so attracted to the gsx-r and not cbr's or other 600s?

    Same reason civics are made fun of.. Its the popular choice of idiots.

    That isnt saying that a good rider wouldnt own a gixxer, Cause they are a great bike..But the majority of them are pretty terrible.

    Stupid people give bad names to things, Unfortunatly Gixxers are a victem of this stereotype...

    And I pronounce it Gixxer with a G like Jerry
