Have you named your bike?

[McFatty1000]

Who here names their bikes? (And cars)

Any reason for the name if you have?

[Subike]

yup
exsessive my black XS1100 ......not hard to understand that.
Pocket change my Red XS1100 .......I paid $20 for it...
Putter putter my Keeway 250.....well, thats the sound it makes

[shafty]

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

[Drew]

Yep....

BITCH!

[Maha]

My bike is called 'it' and sometimes 'the' but mostly 'it'.

[Phreak]

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!

:)

[dangerous]

Yep....

BITCH!but... well, what ya call the missus then?

Moto Guzzi named mine LeMans so why would I need to name it?

[slofox]

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

[reggie1198]

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.;)

[rustic101]

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

[EJK]

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

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

[Akzle]

i call it "that f*ing c*nt of a thing"

[Bassmatt]

Wallet Fucker :(

[\m/]

Bottomless pit that I throw my money into.

[_Shrek_]

mine was the Stead!!! but Trials Rider changed it to "The Rene Ship" coz it crashers on the rocks & capsize's :facepalm:

[That looks like fun]

Both my bikes have names. The Beemer is called "Babe" because she is such a cute wee thing :love: And the WR is called "Saturday"
I like going for rides on Saturday :headbang:

[iYRe]

the zrx is "hillbilly rex" or "the hillbilly" cuz its munted.

Cars are always gurtrude!

[Big Dave]

Nope. They are only machines.

Saturday is more of a Euphemism for a WR than a name innit. :-)

[Bad Biker]

Ratti took the honour of naming my bike ‘Big Red’ something to do with the size and colour.

[McFatty1000]

Man, these names actually have reason behind them. My bike is named Courtney, and the car is Sophie. They just both seem like girls. Both cost enough with their high maintenance at the very least

[Oakie]

'Ferdinand' sometimes because when it hits 5000rpm the exhaust note sounds like a bellowing bull-calf. Usuallly though it's just "hello motorbike" when I open the garage door or "good girl" at the end of a ride.

[dangerous]

bikes a bike... but the pricks that built it I often call "farking iti's"

[FJRider]

Whats in a name ... its just a bike.

[Karl08]

A few names sprung to mind when I paid for the 2 rather expensive Metzlers :eek5:

[McFatty1000]

Whats in a name ... its just a bike.

Sure. But then again, we all come to a forum to talk about our bikes. Shows they mean something to at least most of us here

[FJRider]

Sure. But then again, we all come to a forum to talk about our bikes. Shows they mean something to at least most of us here

I have a high opinion of my bike. For MY reasons. But it remains just MY BIKE ...

[Flip]

Its called "The Fucking Harley" and I am "The Wanker on the Fucking Harley".

[bogan]

Well, its a waste to modify a bike and then not give it more appropriate name!

One of my 'bikes' is actually just a frame and swingarm, and it already has three names; actually its more of a single three part name, giving the name more parts in it than the bike has :whistle:

[McFatty1000]

I have a high opinion of my bike. For MY reasons. But it remains just MY BIKE ...

Yeah. And don't worry, I'm not suggesting naming it is a requirement for enjoying ones bike, we'll leave the 'what makes a biker' question well alone :crazy:

[Haggis2]

Trev .

[Grizzo]

Purgatori.

[Scuba_Steve]

I've got "Da Beast" aka "Viffer" & "lil beast" aka "Fixxer"

[tigertim20]

I have Havoc for the R1.
and Axe-wound for the gsxr, because looking at it from the front, it looks like the designers hit it in the face with an axe, and wedged a headlight in the hole - its fucking hideous! also axe-wound because Im not a big fan of Suzuki's, and I feel like (even more of) a cunt (than usual) when I ride it.:killingme

[Mom]

Who here names their bikes? (And cars)

Any reason for the name if you have?

No. Only a fool would name an inanimate object :yes:

Just ask my Millie :love:

And cos I could, she was going to be Lilly...

[Katman]

Sometimes I miss the good old days of motorcycling.

[Mom]

Well, its a waste to modify a bike and then not give it more appropriate name!

actually its more of a single three part name,

Mother F***ER? cONGRATULATIONS! Opps, sorry. This is the first time ever ( I think) I have ever resorted to grawlix to express myself, but that one is a doozey!

I once found out that I had that word in my vocabulary, I was making curtains at the time, and frankly shocked myself :yes:

Mind, I called the other one that matched (though mirrored) the window "Son of M etc" :o

[meteor]

The SV = Suzy. Not very imaginative but...
The CRF= Start ya fu@ker
The YZ = the YZ

[nerrrd]

Not sure why but been thinking of a name for mine just recently - "Bettina" 'cos that's kinda the sound it makes ("Bett-in-a, bett-in-a, bett-in-a...") and it sounds German. Probably never use it out loud, though.

[chasio]

Generally not into this caper. But when the kids were younger (and very into Harry Potter) we had a pop-top camper we called Hermione, since she was obviously female and we all thought she was magic. It amused us at the time.

[Katman]

Probably never use it out loud, though.

Let's hope not.

[GDOBSSOR]

My Bike is called Black Magic. She is old, she is black, she is my first bike and she may only be a ginny but she brings me untold amounts of joy - the closest thing to magic I will probably ever experience.

[sugilite]

But it remains just MY BIKE ...

A fairly common name you have picked there :innocent:

[FJRider]

A fairly common name you have picked there :innocent:

I have a few other "Common" names I use too ... when it's not running properly ... ;)

[FJRider]

Sometimes I miss the good old days of motorcycling.

If it helps ... these days will be ... the "Good old days" in future times ... for some.

[dino3310]

I just call mine 'Bro'

[pete-blen]

Red one.... XR250
Blue one...XT660R
Monty.... 77 Montessa Cota 348

[Disco Dan]

"Kwaka" or "stop ya b*tch" or sometimes just "girl"

"come on girl, good girl... you can make it girl" - running on fumes and far from petrol station... :whistle:

Did you fall out ... or were you kicked out .. ??

[sugilite]

Well, I was a bit late yes! Been speeding on bikes to make up for it ever since!

[Old Steve]

When I came home on my first bike, a silver and burgundy Hyosung GV250, my wife took one look at her and said, "What are you going to call her? GLORIA?" Well, I'm an old rock n roller, and the title of Van Morrison's most famous song was good enough for me, so she became GLORIA and remained so after I sold her.

When I bought my second bike, a Suzuki Boulevard M50 in Candy Orange Max, my wife followed me all the way home in the car from Hastings. For 300 km she gazed at the number plate which ended in EYQ. She thought, "EYQ, eek, Angilique, Angelina Jolie, Angie - as in the Rolling Stones song of the same name."

So Angie she was. And many times I've come to a crossroad and sung to myself, "Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear? Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?"


(Actually, GLORIA was released by the Irish group "Them", Van Morrison was just their singer)

[dangerous]

shit people, its one thing to name a bike but its another to give it a gender, how the hell do you know if ya bike has a vage or dick? come on really?

altho I dont name bikes etc thinking about it there is a few nic names, my RD 350LC Ardie the RD250LC Elsie, then theres Turbie, 68, 99 and Kat, Guzzi and Buell... then again that is what they all are :pinch:

[GSF]

I called my Bandit "Jolene" because she was fat, black, sassy and loud.

I called my SR500 "Connie" because she's a fucking classy older lady.

[scumdog]

My bike is Tequila Sunrise.

(a) cos tequila was all that was in the house to celebrate its arrival.
(b) it's a T-Sport which has the same initials.:wacko:

[Banditbandit]

My 1250 Bandit is "Red Wolf" ... it's red and lopes along like a wolf
My 650 Bandit is "The Dancer" - because when I got it it danced down the road compared to te BMW R100GS Paris Dakar I had at the time ... which was called "The Beast" - because it was ...

[Monkfish]

I call the S40 "the masport"
that may change when I get a new pipe.

[Banditbandit]

Ummm .. eerrr .. no sex life then ?


shit people, its one thing to name a bike but its another to give it a gender


Yeah ???? many of them display the worst tendencies of gender ... (especially at that time of the month )

And there ain't no genderless names ..

[Tigadee]

I call the S40 "the masport"
that may change when I get a new pipe.

Or when it backfires! LOL

[GDOBSSOR]

Ummm .. eerrr .. no sex life then ?


Wanna bet?

[Banditbandit]

Wanna bet?

Seriously ???

If you think that riding any motorcycle is the closest thing to magic you'll ever experience, then Yes, I'll bet your sex life is piss poor ...

I love riding bikes - I ride bikes most days ... I do high mileages ... it's fucking great .. but sex is ALWAYS better - and much closer to magic .. by a very very long way ...

So yes, I'll bet your sex life is piss poor ...

[fyrgem]

my previous bike, GN250, was named by prior owners: Gina. makes sense.

my new bike, until I put some thought into it, she's my Crotch Rocket :bleh:

[rawsoncj]

I've got a sunrise yellow BMW G650GS. The colour reminded me of The Bride's motorcycle and suit from Kill Bill Part 1, so I named my bike Beatrix.

[Maha]

My bike is called 'it' and sometimes 'the' but mostly 'it'.

...in fact, my bikes are known as NEDWN but I do not refer to them as that out loud.

[KiwiPhoenix]

My first bike, the 250 is called Ivy, cause she's green (I still have her, should have sold her long ago, but hey my first bike)
The 750 is called "Walter" after the Jeff Dunham character, who is a cranky Florida retiree, very much like my old boy!!

[bluninja]

The first bike I named was my first RSVR; called Sophia after Sophia Loren because it was beutiful and italian. Sadly she died 14 hours into our relationship. The next RSVR was called Gina after Gina Lollobridgida; I looked after this one as I didn't know any other stunning looking Italian actresses :)

I then had a yellow SV650 and called it Hermione as the kids liked everything Harry Potter back then. My next Blue SV650S bought for commuting was named Britney after Britney Spears; reasonably attractive and happy to ride her each day.

My current bike is called Hilda after Hilda Ogden, in your face and tough looking but quite sweet on her good days.

[schrodingers cat]

I call mine bike.


Its a fucking bike, thats all

[dangerous]

So yes, I'll bet your sex life is piss poor ...well fuck... so must mine be, shit I seen what sex results in LOL SEX is over rated, give me a good ride anyday, Mrs palmer and her 5 sisters can look after the rest...

[Kornholio]

No a massive slut actually ;)

How you doin? ;)

[bittertwistedcute]

The SV was called Ollie, because I test rode it down steps, like a skateboard

Current bike is called Norman, because thats his name ; )

[Xsannz]

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

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

I had named her Ange, like Angelina Jolie cause she had a big mouth and a sweet ass.....

so anyway to add to thread,

98 fireblade - orange and grey was called Mango....

00 Sp1 - Pig,

06 Fireblade didnt really have a name but had the plate 18YET....

I love the English language when it's used both correctly and incorrectly. :laugh:

At the risk of saying something ironic, I much prefer it when it is used correctly, or deliberately incorrectly.

[granstar]

My T140 I call "Triumph" because it says so on the tank.

My wife's bike that she doesn't ride but I use daily XJ 750 Yammy we call the "XJ", my XJ 750 are you keeping up, is called " The wreck!" mainly because it is.

My van is called "Mitsibitshit"

Our 1976 Mini is called "start you bastard" on regular occasions, otherwise is known as "The Mini".

[MrKiwi]

My Tiger 955i is called Louie. After Louie the fly...

For as long as I can recall until we got rid of it last year, my Mitsubishi Van (people mover) was referred to by my children as the crapwagon... nothing to do with my driving...:wait:

[Marr0w1]

"Beau" (shortened and feminised reference to Bucephalus) and also because she's purdy. Even the gf caught onto it haha.

[McFatty1000]

Ahaha, the brown toyota van we had when I was little was the poomobile, later the crapmobile when we knew better. Must be a van thing

Not sure what to name this one yet...the wife mentioned "bumble-bee" and one of my mates reckoned "school bus" or "mellow yellow"...

Give it a wee while and it might just be "Mistress" like so many bikes that have gone before this one :innocent:

[Maha]

Suz'aha? It's a Suzuki in Yamaha clothes.

[Fastmark]

Haven't named the GS1000 as its not on the road yet, although money pot could be an option. However used to have a Katana 650 called soup dragon, I have no idea why it was called that, friend of mine came up with it and it sort of stuck

[baffa]

Not quite sure wat to call to new bike.
Samantha? Sounds far too much like the girl next door.

[thehollowmen]

My motorcycle is either "El Bandito Negro", "George" or "Jorje" (the latin name for George)

Yes my motorcycle is male: He drinks too much, is temperamental, and farts loudly all the time.

Oh and people are disgusted when I ride him in public.

[Mushu]

My Mum used to name her cars, she had a Corolla she named Gertrude and a bluebird she named Bessie not something I've ever done but I had a Gemini a few years back that my friends named "the flying shit streak" due to its color, and I had a friend that owned a familia that we used to refer to as "the Ford" because it pissed him off

Currently the DR650 is known as the DR and the R6 is called the R6.

[Kornholio]

Suz'aha? It's a Suzuki in Yamaha clothes.

You can shove that shit up your cross-plane crank :p

[hayd3n]

[GSeX]

Mine is called Go Faster. well that's what I yell at it

[frisken]

My bike's called Pidge, derived from Pigeon because he's grey and there are a few 250 Bandits around. I haven't named a vehicle before but thought I would name this one, I always liked it when other people would refer to their vehicles as persons haha.

[Elleon2Wheels]

I never used to but the last few bikes have all had a name...
I named a CBF1000 in metallic black with full fairing, lowers and belly pan "Black Bess"
My XT225 Serow is named Billy (a Serow is a Japanese mountain goat)
My DR250 is named Frank - the previous owner called it Frankenstein because he thought it was ugly but I think he's rather lovely :)

[Old Steve]

Well, after GLORIA the Hyo GV250 learner cruiser and Angie the Candy Orange Max Boulevard M50, I'm breaking the link with calling my bikes after a woman's name in a song title.

My white 2002 Honda ST1100 is "Songbird" (after the song written by Chrissie McVie of Fleetwood Mac which features on the Rumours album), that bike makes sweet music out on the road.

(HINT: for pure musical enjoyment, listen to the late Eva Cassidy's version of "Songbird", WOW!)

[BadSarah]

shit people, its one thing to name a bike but its another to give it a gender
She's too pretty to be a boy

Not chubby, curvaceous. Another reason she's not a boy!

[Oakie]

Thread dredge:

I have had a new bike for two and a half months now. Never been that fussed about naming my bikes but this one has got a name now.
I went out to the garage one night last week and the bike's ignition immobiliser light on the instrument cluster gave it's regular wee flash. I realised that I was looking for the flash in the semi-dark and that it actually gave me some comfort. I thought "Awww, Mr Blinky". So now my GSR600 is "Mr Blinky".

I'm sorry.

[Berries]

Are you actually old enough to have a licence?

[Oakie]

Are you actually old enough to have a licence?

Well my wife often accused me of being the third teenager in the family (we have two grown up kids)...but yes, I'm 54 next month :shit::shit:

My bike is named Leo Lionheart, because one of us has to be the brave one ;)

[caspernz]

Being a Busa pilot, one of my riding buddies referred to my bike as the "Laughing Gnome"...and he was at pains to point out it was the bike he was referring to :banana:

The wife on the other hand has referred to many of my bikes simply as "The Mistress" on account of time and money spent :clap:

[rustyblade]

Named my zzr250 Kelly, she was great...
Blade is called "Himiko". Kinda ironic as she's psychopathic.

[Wokster]

Anyone want a kick arse 4.8is X5?

[Old Steve]

My latest bike, a 2012 blue Suzuki Boulevard M50, is named Layla, in line with all my other bikes being named after women's names in song titles.

After a while, I found I was calling my white ex Police Honda ST1100 "Norma Jean' after that photo of Marilyn Munroe standing over that air vent in New York.

So it's been GLORIA, the Hyosung GV250, Angie, the Candy Orange Max Suzuki M50, Norma Jean, the Honda ST1100, and Layla the blue Suzuki M50.

[Maha]

...in fact, my bikes are known as NEDWN but I do not refer to them as that out loud.

Still NEDWN, just the number changes.

[98tls]

Never bothered naming it... Mrs call it "that fucking money pit" so i guess thats its name.:niceone:Did catch the old tart trying it out for size awhile back though...http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tlme/gravesdam037Medium_zpsa1d7024b.jpg (http://s9.photobucket.com/user/tlme/media/gravesdam037Medium_zpsa1d7024b.jpg.html)

[Ocean1]

Depends.

Sometimes it's Babe. As in "Get me out of this in one piece and I'll spend the rest of the day polishing your pretty arse, Babe."

Usually followed shortly afterwards by: "You willful little SLUT, what the fuck was all that bullshit mid-corner back there?"

[Grumph]

There's a racebike here called Val...a big black girl, known to throw rocks...

The old man had an NSU Prima scooter, known in the family as "the prima donna" - for obvious reasons.

[toycollector10]

Named her on a very long ride to Cape Reinga from Auckland. Can't remember why - it just stuck.

Indie was more Indiana Jones than the race car meaning.

Trouble is... Indie is a 'his' name, yet I call the CBR a 'her'.

Weird. But to me it's the coolest name ever. :Punk:

'The urinal', due to its 'styling'.

It's a white BMW RT :)

I named my Guzzi 'Lolo' after Gina Lolobridgida, another Italian mistress with big jugs

It's been called a few names in it's time... "Cunt: springs to mind a few times as well as "fucking bastard thing".

My GN250 project bike I call Jess. On the test ride for some strange reason it reminded me of the Footrot Flats dog Jess the bitch.

Weird, or what?

Sure girls name their favourite childhood dollies 'n' shit..

But giving a bloody mechanical contrivance a pet name? Nah.. whatarya..

'Spose you'd lovingly insufflate all over the brightwork while doing the soft cheeses cloth rub down..
.. soon after a sweatingly hard thrashing thereupon, too..

You ARE allowed to marry 'em in NZ these days though, right?

Can't think of a name for the Hayabusa, I'll give it some thought ...

When I got my yellow Busa, one of my mates coined it Skool Bus. Bumble Bee was mentioned, but the wife just calls it Mistress. Come to think of it. Mistress has been a common name for bikes I'd venture.

One of my colleagues (an elderly fella I'll admit) referred to the Busa as the laughing gnome as per the David Bowie song, and he mumbled something along the lines of "nobody would catch me" while riding it.

On the whole naming a bike does seem a little pointless...
