Some of these are nicknames,some the oems stick the bike with. I've never heard my bike refered to the way YOU describe but I have seen GSXR1000K6 for example or GSXR1K6. Whatever,it never fails to amaze me the lengths you guys will go to to try and denigrate arguably the most successful and winningest motorcycles in history. Especially,recent history. So nyahh,nyahh,nyahh!!!

Ill respond to that being as Im the only one who rides one on this board. Thundercat is the model name for the European version of the bike which is virtually identical to the US version. The thunderkitten im guessing is the obvious fact that they are quite tame bikes.
