coolest sounding bike name?

A true favourite of mine was The Samurai.

Fat Bob.

End of discussion.

Testastretta, or Desmosedici.

I thought the benelli tornado was quite good

No theses_________ nicked from another web pleace.

Here’s my opinion on various current and some historical motorcycle names and how they relate to the bikes. (Listed in alphabetical order!)
Africa twin ­ Ok supposed to inspire the type of bike for Africa works OK for the bike.
Bandit ­ The marketing burp says ‘The <country ad appears in> most wanted’ It's not exactly a best seller so I don’t get it. But it has kinda of adopted the image as a hoon bike of choice till recently.
Burgman ­ What ? Quite inappropriate really. It a scooter though so fits the really weird scooter names standard.
Deauville ­ Sounds like dull you see.. but then the bike is kinda of appropriate … also sounds French, though I don't see the French connection (ha ha - get it?)
Dominator ­ Interesting name a bit over the top for this sort of bike though. Ie Single cylinder trail bike.
Diversion ­ Interesting but I still don’t get it.
Drifter ­ Very appropriate name for the bike. It is a cruiser after all !
Eliminator ­ Interesting choice for this sort of bike but still not really appropriate. Ie cruiser style.
Fazer ­ Has Star Trek connotations so unless the bike looks anything like a ray gun or space ship its not really going to work.
Fireblade ­ Nice made up name and installs a good image for the type of bike.
Firestorm ­ Interesting name but a bit over the top name for the bike.
Foresight ­ Oh dear - this is inappropriate.
Freewind ­ Pleaaaase this is a very silly name.
Hodaka Wombat - (*submitted by Roger Pitt from Aust): Yes a motorcycle presumably named after an animal indigenous to Australia. Hodaka is the manufacturer's name. If you know what a wombat looks like and its 'character' you'd have a laugh too. Other models by Hodaka include ACE, SUPER RAT, ROAD TOAD, DIRT SQUIRT and COMBAT WOMBAT.
Goldwing ­ almost appropriate but more gold trimming pls.
Intruder - Not very good choice ­ a bit silly. Especially for a cruiser. Also reminds me of Big Brother.
Katana ­ Sort of appropriate when the bike was released by now definitely NOT.
Marauder ­ Pirate inspired obviously but as a cruiser Ie. road version it doesn't fully work.
Majesty ­ You have got to be kidding these are scooters you know.
Ninja ­ Sort of competition to the Katana and Fireblade really, appropriate for the time but definitely not now.
Nighthawk ­ This is totally inappropriate.
Pan-European ­ Again an appropriate name though I think slightly over the top cause it also has former airline company aside from the more appropriate 747 connotations to me.
Rebel ­ This is not a very good choice and utterly inappropriate. Ie a cruiser available as a 250cc twin based on the CB250.
Thunderace ­ A made up name with little association to the bike
Thundercat ­ Another made up name with little association to the bike.
Trans-Alp ­ European mountain crossing type bike seems appropriate.
V-Max ­ Think this is a great name, suits the bike during its day in the sun.
Virago ­ Interesting but again don’t get it.
Valkyrie ­ The look is appropriate ie big bike and the female warrior connotation is interesting.
