Squid bikes are usually decorated with chrome and various anodized bits. Rear tyres are too wide for their own good, swingarm extended. Really slow in the corners, and sudden bursts of acceleration when a straight appears. Squids wear no protection, deeming themselves invincible. This fact compounds intself with the fact that they engage in ‘extreem riding’–performing wheelies and stoppies in public areas. Squids wreck alot. Derived from ‘squirly kid’ also see stunta We were suddenly passed by a chromed out R1 and then when we rounded the bend, we saw the squid wrapped around a tree, he’d probably be alive if he was wearing a helmet. by Wawa Feb 21, 2003 share this 2. squid An extremely rare animal with a short lifespan. Usually a new sport bike enthusiast with the reasoning of a lunatic, whom you might see thrashing on an R1 wearing sandals, shorts, and a tee. When found lying motionless on the pavement, this creature transforms itself into a stream of blood, exposed flesh, and broken limbs. Hence the squid moniker.

I’m not the new kid on the block Premo. I still stand by my point. Gsxr tends to be the most attractive and appealing bike to anybody who’s just getting into the sport and generally ends up riding like a total dick in his shorts and flip flops, starting out on a bike too big for him with chicken strips the size 6 inch sub. It’s a wide definition generally covering anybody who isn’t experienced, improperly dressed, over estimates his abilities and underestimates his lack of. ---

If you want powerband buy a twin. There are plenty of appealing models out there. I’ve known experienced riders who moved on to liter bikes and never have felt full confident of their new bike and ended up going back to small(er) CC. There are plenty of others with mid range.
