    that was what you meant, wasn't it?
    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?

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

    God No.......
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    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.

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

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

    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...
