what does it all mean Bazzel?

[SVRACER01]

OK. so H-D is labeled as the alphabet bikes but all those letters actually stand for something. F= footshift. X= 19-21" front wheel, L=16" front wheel etc...
FXSTS:
F-foot shift
X-19-21" front
ST-softail
S-springer front

FLHTCUI:
F-footshift
L-16"
H- fairing mounted to forks
TC-twincam
U- ultra
I- injected

so what do the letters of Jap "alphabet" bikes stand for?
GSXR?
CBR?
ZX?
FZ?
YZF?

anyone know?

oxx - i dont think she made that up...i heard that as well...the cbr part that is...but the gsxr part makes sense to me

[obsolete]

Wow, tough crowd.

[Jaynnus]

Y = Yamaha
Z= Racing
F = Four stroke (or Factory Production)


R = Series

First the "V" in "SV" stands for "V-Twin". and she is 100% Right.

CBR is a Cross Beam Racer also.

[Doc]

GSXR?-- Got some Xrays ready?
CBR?-- Can't buy Respect
ZX? Zero Xrays
FZ? Fuckin Zippy
YZF? You Zippy Fuck

The R in R1 or R6 is for RESPECT! (Says so in the commercial)
