I think 2 years ago 90% of squids were on GSXR's...now I'd have to say more are gravitating towards the RR (dat underseat exhaust is tite yo!) and a few on ZX10R's since you can get one for under $10K out the door now and squids seem to be drawn to highest claimed/rumored HP figures I agree with the Raven Yamaha comment, supervisor at my work has one...what did he do...put hot pink "skin industries" stickers all over it and a pink R6 decal...WTF? hahaha Squids come in all sorts though, poor squids ride F2's and early 90 FZR's, rich ones ride more modern equipment, it's really the only difference

Funny as hell, but we all made the list at one point or another. Come on you guys, you know we all think we're cool when we're on our bikes.

Plugging a tire makes you a Squid? Oh, please.... Put that one under "believes everything you read in a motorcycle magazine".

I guess the contributor of that particular SQUID-Ism never considered that you could actually use a big sportbike / GT clad with Dunlop performance street tires for transportation or light touring where -- heaven forbid -- punctures happen. Me, I think I'll keep my plug kit under the seat of my daily driver (CBR1100) and deal with the scorn in the highly unlikely event I ever show up at a track with a plugged street tire.

I don't think they were refering to emergency tire plugging... but If you were to go ride the track the with that same plug I'd have to point at you and laugh with my friends.
