    Have you named your bike?

    Who here names their bikes? (And cars)

    Any reason for the name if you have?

    I nick-named my Pan Euro "The Orient Express" due to its size, comfort and origins....

    Lol yup - the Legnum is called "Gizmo" due to the electrical gremlins when we bought it...
    and the bike is called "Horse", an old friend that was into equestrian stuff named it!

    1990 CBR250RR - fully rebuilt and awesome!
    1999 CBR900RR - a work in progress...

    The Vixen. Because of the way it wound its tendrils around me when I first test rode it...

    Yep,

    The mistress, she my other "ride"

    Actually, I think my wife named her that. How many blokes can say they share the house with the wife and an Italian mistress, and ride both regularly.

    Charlotte - I was riding her not long after thinking about names and it just happened - no real reason.

    What's wrong with the name "ZX-10R"?

    Itself sounds badass enough, I can only make it worse by giving it a nickname.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
