I think its all about the thing you associate the name with.

Fireblade - very apt name. Vcool - its a fast smooth name.

The problem with ninja is it reminds me of turtles.

Bandit is good. Reminds me of a mexican mugger - it suits it. Not the prittiest of bikes but capable of exactly what it says in the right hands.

Morning all.

I think the best names are ones you can change to something totally daft, so one can irritate the ego of riders of machines with over pretentious names.

Such as;

Fireblade- Firebucket
Dragstar- Dragqueen
Virago- Viagra
Multistrada- Numptystrada
Goldwing- Leadfoot

& so on.

The best ever has to be the Cossack Ural, universally known as the Urinal. Not that riders of such machines have anything like self respect, let alone an ego!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Some oddities from ye olden days with wooden spokes and sprung seats.

Adonis
Silver Pigeon
Anker - as in Anchor?
Stahl (Stall)
Honda Dream is a bit lame too.
Indian Pony Scout

We have the clear winner tho:
Whizzer Pacemaker - I kid you not!


I do like Confederate Wraith, very cool name. Wouldn't mind one in the garage either.
