Bike Names

The Trophy has always been 'Mr Motorcycle' but I have no idea why?

The Guzzi does not have a name yet but it would probably be something you would call a happy sheep dog. At the end of a run it's always lumping away with it's tongue hanging out dribbling and ready to go again....

What the hell was Suzuki thinking when they named their cruiser bikes "Intruders" & "Maurauders" [why not "Molesters" or "Invading Vandals/Visigoths"' or the "Savage" [a TAME 650 single or an elderly 2 stroke puddle jumper] or "Impulse" [an old small 4 cyl screamer] or how about the "Cavalcade" [Behemoth would be closer to the mark]
Whos got some more manufacturers names??

How about Royal Enfields "Bullet"- wouldnt 'Slug' be more in keeping? Or how about that Harley clone, the "Big Dog"... true dat!
Then theres Yamahas "a shrewish woman" [Virago], Hodakas "Combat Wombat" wtf? The list goes on.....Suzukis '80s custom UJMs the "Low Slingers".

What about the Enfield "Super Constellation" sounds like it should be on Star Wars or wasnt that Lockheeds name for one of their 4 engined passenger planes?

I refuse to dignify that with a proper response.

Never really called any of my bikes by name except for the AG100 my "old hunk of junk" had so much fun on that bike on the farm. My new bike seems to have aquired the name "the old girl", its got a motorcycle cover that is put over her when not in use, like tucking her up in bed. Well one just has to keep her looking her best cause she is such a looker despite her age.
