Another possibility is the Gixxer scares the Hades out of it's rider.

Quick-twitch handling, the ability to smack you in the face with the triple clamp, arrester-hook brakes...
If the guy just came from a well-mannered, sane bike (like ours) it might take awhile before he trusts the Zook.
Of course he could also be hopelessly over his head and destined for
DOOM! (or is that BOOM?)
