    Seems like you're a bit above the average in terms of consumption according to fuelly: http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/suzuki/gsr600
    In saying that, there is massive variation in that list!

    Mjolinir (Thor's Hammer)

    fits the bike, two 800cc pistons traveling all but 4 inches stroke, designed so you 'feel' the motor, shudders and shakes at tickover, and definitely 'pulses' when you open the throttle.....

    that which smashes.... got fillings? they're gonna rattle loose

    Well, it seems the consensus is it's a bit gay to name your bike, but I've always named mine because they're special to me and I'm a bit weird

    My Blue Daytona was called Sonic, then my white Street Triple was called Casper and now my SuperDuke 990r is called Duchess ('coz she's a lady heh ) I think as a biker you do form a special connection with your bike, spending a lot of time together and relying on the machine to keep going and not let you down (or throw you off).

    Mine is Dobbin, after the traditional name for a carthorse, because it works hard and is reliable.

    I have a friend who swears that naming your vehicle saves on maintenance costs. Her theory is that after you name it then you humanise it, and then take better care of it. Seems to have worked for her.

    My bike is Lupo, short for il Lupo, or the wolf, because it is Italian, grey, has remus pipes and growls like a wolf. Also the teenage metaller nerd in me likes the idea of riding on a wild grey wolf - hair blowing in the wind and baying at the moon. Yeah... nerd.

    Mao. The Chinese word for cat.

    She's a PMS'ing cat. Does what she wants. Wants affection when she wants it. Is vocal and loves the attention.


    (The bike not the rider!!)
    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.
