Names for our beasties, what do you call your bike?

**PrincessBandit** · 16th December 2007, 06:55

I see some people give their bikes names and happily make these public. My little GN (red one) is called Rosie. Haven't come up with a name for the GSF but as a Crash Bandicoot fan i thought of Banditcoot. (Thought "Crash" might be asking for trouble). Any suggestions? How did you select the name for your 2 wheeled love.

Just curious.

I call mine a Katana. It seems to suit it.

I've called my bike Lucy, as for the official color designation is Lucifer Orange. Perhaps an angle you could do something with?

Dont really have a name as such, it would be like naming your pet Pig Crackling!...dont do it cos one day you will have to let it go. If i were to name Nedyumph, it would most certainly be NEDWN...me being the Third NEDWN in a long line of NEDWN's (well two others before me) it could only be the right thing to do!.....go Team NEDWN!....

Or you could follow GIJoe's example and just buy more bikes and a bigger gargre.

And as you can see, mine is named too.

Call her "kwaka" when the engines off. Usually gets called "holy shit" and "stop ya big fat bitch" while moving...

...even invented a few new swear words on my fav stretch of road

My GSXR750 was named The Snail by owners previous. I saw no reason to change that.

Anyone want to buy it?

I'm not sure what to call the GSX1400, though.

Suggestions welcome.

Nah. Too overused.

'Big Bleck Whale' is a bit cumbersome, or I'd just call it that.

I've had "the Black Bitch" - named by someone else.
"The Mutt" Named by crazylittleshit coz its part honda, part kawasaki and part suzuki.
And my current rg150 was refered to as "purple fury" buy coyote, its previous owner, dunno about continuing with that one tho, such a name also points out a need for a paintjob....
