I gave mine the same name as my wife.


Because I love her, but she may lead to my death.

My wife didn't like that.

I named my first two bikes, probably because it was traditional to name old VWs, which I was into at the time. They were "Sparky" and then "The Supersonic Sofa". After that, I grew out of it, and they became "The 6R", "The Gixxer", "The 750R", "The Bomb", "The RVF", "The TS".

This one's just "The Bike".

I suspect that if I had more than one bike again, I'd probably find a need to distinguish between them orally.

Some refer to mine as my mistress. Given it is black and has a fat ass, maybe I should call it Fat Albert?

- my honda '72 cb350 - is called 'ran' cause she's japanese and it means 'chaos' in japanese

the triumph bonne 650 i sold last year was 'oilin' cause its a japanese name and she wasn't and because she had an oilin frame


the suz i had previous to her was called 'circe' cause the sight of me on her used to turn men into swine


my fazer is called 'tasha' - no particular reason except it's a dainty, pretty name and she's a dainty, pretty bike

oooops waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too revealing! - a Psychiatrist would probably have a field day with that lot!!

I have never named any bike of mine , have however had a reoccuring phrase that comes up far too regulaly , genraly as I am about to do another track inspection or riding gear test , the phrase is , Shit not again. Ex wife used to call my old GSXR , Nasty bitch , now thats what I call her.

As you can see on the right hand corner mine is the VTZ of doom. I was taking the piss a bit with that one as shes a small bike but no one expects it to go as well as it does due to its size and its apperance.

Her name came about as a sort of horsemen of the apocalypse kind of dig leaning on my pythonesque sense of humor.

Klingon, 2 reasons:

1. Its an evil looking SOB

2. Anything above 3000rpm better "Klingon" or watch the beast disappear out from under :Punk:

My first RSVR was called Sophia(Loren) but died a day later...current RSVR is called Gina (Lollabrigida). Both named after sexy italian actresses; probably need to keep this one cos I don't know any more italian actresses names. My wife refers to the bike as my italian mistress.

The yellow SV650 I had was called Hermione cos the kids were into Harry Potter and it needed a girls name. Also don't know any japanese film stars.

Naming IPODs......that's wierd :shit:

Hmmm... I must be quite boring and straight, my zx9r was always called "The 9R", and my new one is known as "The Busa".

Never really been into naming vehicles, it just always seemed like an old lady kind of thing to do... You know, the old blue rinse brigaders who drive a Morris Marina called "Myrtle" or something...

'96 Honda Hornet named "Charlene".

Hopefully I won't off myself with her like Gomer Pile did.

My CB250RS is called `Natalie'. After a friend of mine (I've never told her this, she probably wouldn't like to hear it lol, but I have a few friends called Natalie so they wouldn't know which one).

Well, my bike is definitely female, so it needs a female name. Natalie is a few years older than me (like the bike); is slightly slow to start (I mean, takes a while to get jokes etc -- my bike is a bastard to start); isn't really the fastest athlete (it's a single cylinder 250); doesn't speak awfully good English (the bike's Japanese); is pretty, in a sort of old-fashioned practical way; she's fairly docile sort of girl, doesn't get too mad or furious; sometimes gets a bit upset and has a breakdown (I've got the head off for the third (or fourth?) time); has a nice, friendly, kind heart.

Those are a few reasons, but somehow the personality just matches. Hope her boyfriend doesn't know I'm riding her :D.
