coolest sounding bike name? - Page 5 - SV650.org

Many names are trying too hard I reckon.

And a lot of what's coolest is going to be personal, based on what caught your attention when you first started getting into bikes.

So +1 on the Vincent Black Lightning & Black Shadow. And +1 for Fireblade.

I read somewhere that Fireblade is the result of a direct translation of the Japanese for lightning bolt. Haven't bothered to check if that's true.

Forgot about the Hayabusa. Japanese for Peregrine Falcon.

It has to be the Tuono (thunder) - you know it makes sense with a set of loud cans.
