Model nicknames
Sooo, we have for the SV curvy and pointy.
GSXR I have heard of Slingshot, Slabside, and SRAD? Can anyone elaborate on the main differences? Any other bikes that have similar model nicknames? Show off your bike knowledge

Re: Model nicknames
Bodyshapes (Slabside) or introduction of new technology (Slingshot carbs) (SRAD = Suzuki Ram Air Direct).
