More than a tip of the hat to Rins and Mir's 2020 bikes,which look sweet to my old eyes.

Re: Limited edition 100th anniversary GSXR1000
Is it actually a smallish, compact, bike? Hence the can looking so out of scale.
Even bland can be a type of character

Park a GSXR1100 next to a GSXR1000 and you'll see how small the 1000s really are.

Didn’t you, the ZX9, and tractor trailer have a bit of an incident - or was that someone else from the VD days?

Almost anything looks small next to a GSXR1100, the world's fastest barge
