....in the race to create the cheesiest decal ever to appear on a motorcycle.

Back in the day, an RGV's ducktail would proclaim it to be a REAL SPRINTER.
Around the same time, a GSX-R1100's GSX-R decal carried the subtitle HYPER
ENDURANCER...

Pretty tragic, but "it was the 80's...".

I just walked past a Cagiva Gran Canyon parked on campus. The Gran Canyon
decal on the ducktail also carries the words POWERFUL EMOTIONS. Wtf is their
excuse?

Surely you've heard Burnies tales of woe about his Raptor???

"Powerful emotions" indeed...

big (Maybe 'Gus shoulda got some of those decals for his Ducati ;-)

Gran Canyon - Ducati 2-valve aircooled engine.
Navigator, Gran Canyon's successor - Suzuki 1000cc 8-valve liquid-cooled
engine, and, by all reports, the only part of the bike which doesn't
spontaneously disassemble while on the move...

Suzuki don't make a 900cc v-twin... not that you'd be expected to know any
of this, of course...
