Well I've heard nicknames for many other bikes. But usually at a bike night when you ask someone what they ride. If you ask someone who rides a CBR600rr they'll say at the least a 600rr but normally they'll say a CBR600rr. Never heard someone call a CBR600 a Hurricane except the F1s.

Which I see the point about the K stuff. I call my bike an F3. But the F3 represents from 1995-1998. Honda doesn't have a CBR600 F1 for 1991, f2 for 1992, f3 for 1993, f4 for 1994 and so on.

Unless I'm missing something and every year the GSXR line goes through a major remodel(Say the different between an F2 and an F3 or an F3 and a F4) I could understand saying you have a GSXR600 K4. And say the GSXR600 K4 stayed unchanged between the years 2003-2006 then yeah that makes sense.

Basically it just seems cheesy to me to say I have a "K4 Gixxer 1000". Just tell me it's a 2004 GSXR1000. Now if you did say "I have a 2004 GSX-1000r" I would make fun of you too.
