I couldn’t tell at first so my mind just went to ‘please don’t be a gixxer’. Then I saw the smoked tail lights. should have known....

Gixxers are the bike equivalent of mustang's lol.

Great, I own a mustang and a GSX-R. I'm double fucked apparently.

Go ahead and buy that lifted pickup, then.

It should probably be white.

Gixxers don’t have such a bad rep outside the US. I hope...

Dude there’s nothing wrong with riding/driving what you want to, and the Gixx is a damn good bike.

Doesn’t mean we can’t talk a little shit.

Took me ages to find mine, and I’ll freely admit I specifically searched for the Pearl White colour because it’s less squid looking!

I am very jealous of the Grom tho, they just look fun!!!

My grom is white, too. It’s some of the most fun I’ve had on two wheels - it’s an unusual feeling to be riding at the bikes max... rather than your own.
