**OreoGaborio** · 02-09-05, 11:23 PM

WHERE'S BEMUSED???

R7 · 02-10-05, 06:01 AM

GSXR is the squid bike of choice round here

**Rice-rocket1** · 02-10-05, 07:01 AM

What about the "Flaming" Sedition bike??

I voted for the Repsol CBR, because it has a cool paint job and will look great with a pair of cool soccer shorts and Adidas sandals

thats because of Honda Suzukiworld. Seems like every kid around here has some kinda Gixxer

**Awesome** · 02-10-05, 09:01 AM

R1 - most expensive is it not? That's bragging rights with the homeboys. That or the gix 1K. Hard to say, there are so many varience of the 'squid'

**bigred875** · 02-10-05, 09:08 AM

I don't know man, go to the Heritage during the summer and notice the large group of riders hanging out in the parking lot just up river from the Pavilion all riding the 916,996,998 variations, with the occasional monster type for good measure, of Ducatis. I know for a fact, from having been caught up in a group ride with them, that a good chunk of that group is extremely squidly. I don't think the Italian manufacturers are squid proof.

That being said, every bike has the potential to be squidly and my vote would have to go towards the GSXR or the ZX crowds.

All of the above!

The raven R1 is a great looking bike bone stock. But I'm sure every one will be blinged out...

**Lucky13** · 02-10-05, 11:53 AM

I voted other to put the sv650 on the map...the sv650 gets no street cred.

**highsider** · 02-10-05, 11:53 AM

If there were an option for whatever bike Half Squid rides, thats the one I'd have picked.

**benVFR** · 02-10-05, 01:21 PM

I voted ZX-10 as it is still the fastest and supposedly the most likely to break the tire loose, etc...

The Repsol & Ravens are pretty squidly but they are both supposed to be slightly easier to ride than the ZX-10.

Nope, the ZX10 is the most expensive liter bike

The raven R1 is a great looking bike bone stock. But I'm sure every one will be blinged out...

I checked it out at the dealer, it's ok i guess, not what i was expecting. I think all gloss black would be the shiznit and get rid of that aweful rim strip

**Paul_E_D** · 02-10-05, 03:59 PM

Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. The rims should be all red, but Yamaha would never have the nuts to do that...

**snaggle** · 02-10-05, 06:17 PM

I vote ZX-10 all the mags say how fast/insane it is, so all the squids should have one. with spinner rims

I would have voted for the repsol rep, but how many true squids would know what it was. It's not like speed channel shows motorcycle racing any more!

MC · 02-10-05, 08:29 PM

ZX-10 all the way.

So what if it's a few hundred more than the others? When you're not buying a helmet, jacket, pants, boots, and gloves...you can afford to splurge!

I know, I've seen some of them myself. I just wanted to give you guys some shit for fun.

That hurts.

I think any bike can be the squid of choice.
Its all the rider anyway.
