Crim= 04/05 ZX10R spend enough time wiht one and you'll end up in jail or dead
Gumby= 06/07 ZX10R green ones look like Gumby the plasticine figure. smooth and rounded edges.
Bug= 08/09 ZX10R eyes look like bugs eyes.
just affectionate names for each model.
same as Barge for a zx12r
and Bullet for a 05/06 zx6r
Barra for AN 03/04 zx6R (suspension as hard as a wheelbarrow)

Really, this is not the case now, and it should be Re-Named, due to the awesome increase in power of the Bug..

the Crims are still the snappiest of all of them i think... they were balls out brain busters.
the bugs, are smoother and pack quite a punch, but its more progressive i think.

I question the wisdom of asking, but why are they called that?

The 03-06 Z1000 was referred to as the hooligan bike due its ease of throwing it around and doing wheelstands.
