Fuck! - It's Official

The word Fuck is now officially a technical term - in Japan! In the users' manual for the latest model of Suzuki GSX R-750 motorcycle (pictured) the following instruction is quoted: "Never make any modifications to the aluminium alloy beam frame. Any such modifications will fuck it, and may lead to an accident."

Akira Yanarada, the technical boss at Suzuki, defended the use of the term saying "This terminology is fully justified. It is always our intention to match the specifications of our products to the needs of our customers. In this case we have utilised language consistent with, and clearly understood by, our core customer."
