It's like Kixx rather than kix, Gixer looks like it's an actual word, whereas there are no double x in the english language.

Plus it looks better Razz

Gixxer.com is a better site (aesthetically anyway, I haven't probed either) so they must be right Razz

It needs to be have the double 'x', or it wouldn't sound right. Or would it? Confused Fixer, Gixer. Hrm, I never thought of anything other than Gixxer.

On second thoughts, this is what Google thinks. Razz

My mate pronounces Gixer/Gixxer (whatever Rolling Eyes ) as Jick-sa.

Is this right? I've heard people pronounce it as Gick-sa before... which one is it?

Does it really matter?

Its what ever you want it to be whether gixxer or gixer, personally I prefer the full monica for it, the GSXR, the name it was given when it was born in 1985 not some silly nickname Razz.

I've always pronounced it Jick-sa, as the letters themselves have the same sound. GS=Jis as opposed to Gis. Penny Coin Penny Coin
