No, (you were taking the piss, weren;t you?) I want to know what SV means, and GSXR-R, and VFR, and all those kinda letters. Where does my bike's name come from -CX?

[imdying]

I'm pretty sure there's a thread on KB about what the Suzuki letters stand for.

Genitials Nonexistant


Genitials? Is that like when you brand your genitals? Is there one initial for each? Are they big enough?

But (sort of) seriously, it's nice that the GN gives the Honda riders something to laugh at.:Punk:

I never stopped to wonder what the GN stood for, I just like riding a motorbike.

With that theory,...does NZ-250S and SG-350 qualify ?

[Oakie]

There is. I can't be bothered doing the search though.

[McJim]

so the RG150 should really be RN150 (R=2T N=single)?

The italians have the right answer - my bike is an SS which just means Super Sport - s'not very quick though.

Well, y'know what the S on the end of NZ250S means - bikini fairing. The others? No idea. Maybe there are exceptions to every rule... except this one. Like Honda's CB series - all inline four 4 strokes... except 250cc and under, like the CB250RS and the CBR125R. And yes, it does exist believe it or not, it's a learner machine in the UK - they're only allowed 125s - biggest selling bike of 2005. They even do a Repsol edition, couldn't stop smirking when I saw one in a shop. Tiny little bike. *Rummage* Ah, here we go...

Ha ha - yes - couldn't believe it when I heard I could get a 250cc on a learner's over here - jumped for joy I did. First 250 I sat on (CB250) I thought was a massive bike. It's all what you're used to eh?

<hints id="hah_hints"></hints>The CB series is just Honda's roadbikes (well, the majority of them -- there's the V2 and V4 bikes). There's plenty of CB twins from the 70s and 80s, a smattering of singles, even a 6 cylinder thou (that sounds really, really horny :devil2:). The bit which denotes `single cylinder' in CB250RS is (at least according to the period Japanese marketing material I've seen) is the `RS' -- stands for `Racing Single' apparently, lol. That said, I've seen one of the bikini fairings produced for it with `Road Sports' written on it, but I don't think they were an official Honda fairing.

I think the large number of CB straight-fours is just that the straight-four has become the bike engine du jour, so a good chunk of CBs from recent years have been four-pots. However you don't have to look too far back to see CB250Ns, CB250Ts, CB200s, CB250 twins, CB125s, CB150s, CB175s, and even a gorgeous little CB50.

EDIT: I just re-read your post, realise you were talking about the 250s and under. However there's also the CB500 twin, CB400 twin, CB400SS (now that is a cool modern bike), CB350 and CB360. Also the CBX1000 straight six I mentioned earlier.

Those CBR125Rs are awesome! There's one up here at uni, they look like so much fun :D

GN = Gutless Number. Poor little GN, everyone loves to take the piss!:yes:
