A definite improvement !

How about a 'sippy' due to its excellent fuel consumption. Or a 'cleany' due to low emissions. Or 'roundy' due to headlight shape.

How about "tubey" or "underendowed (in the exhaust department)".

The Ding - as in the scaffolDING design they've nicked off the monster.
The Wiggly - in reference to the front cylinder down-pipe.
