what dad buys his 21y/o a gixxer1000? a very rich one. [think insurance]

that does suck though. i hope they fix the problem before more get hurt/killed.

...so someone added a horn by drilling into the aluminum frame? Is that what I'm reading?

"... started inspecting the bike. They spotted a hole drilled into the frame for his horn.

"When they tried to get the bike repaired, they say initially, Suzuki seemed cooperative. Jerard says after he raised that question, Suzuki officials refused to repair his bike."

Not "the horn" but "his horn"... and why else would Suzuki refuse to repair after the hole was pointed out?

So who drilled the hole for the horn?

Sweet I had a response all typed up, was about to post and I must have hit a special "close the browser window instead of copy your post to the clipboard" key combo.

Back on track, it's rider abuse that kills those frames. Keep slammin' down those wheelies because you're a moronic squid trying to impress your fellow 21 year old buddies and it's gonna break. So don't use a race-replica bike for doing stupid crap like that.

No, but I did cut one in half. Actually, it's still in my garage right now!

Why did that article say the Gixxer 1000 was "touted as the fasted production motorcycle"? The 'busa is faster.
