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  ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

Gixxer.com is a better site (aesthetically anyway, I haven't probed either) so they must be right  ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

Gixxer just looks better.  ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

It needs to be have the double 'x', or it wouldn't sound right. Or would it? Fixer, Gixer. Hrm, I never thought of anything other than Gixxer.
On second thoughts, this is what Google thinks.  |

My mate pronounces Gixer/Gixxer (whatever ) 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 .

I've always pronounced it Jick-sa, as the letters themselves have the same sound. GS=Jis as opposed to Gis.  ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/
