Does your bike have a name...?

[NobodySpecific]

I named my XT Jenny (or rather Jennnnnaayy) because I feel like Forrest Gump while riding it sometimes. I refer to my bikes by their given name or their purpose though (the dirt bike, the XT, the Yamaha, or the street bike, the Triumph, the Sprint, etc)

[Falko]

Named mine after a Striper ,her name was Kandy = Candy with a K also know as The Widow Maker

You knew a fish named Kandy?

[ninjachica250]

My Ninja is named Nunzio

[Yknot]

My daughter named my race bike Daisy...just like her bike, her pillow, her blanket, her doll, etc...

to me it looks more like a Blanche or Mabel, old and tired..

[Rossco]

The 'Zuke

[nhbubba]

I've been told "that big amazonian bitch" has a good ring to it.

[dontpanic]

About half of the bikes I've owned have wound up with names.

'82 GS1000S Katana was the Mindbender.
'86 VF1000R was the Sledgehammer.
'03 SV1000S is, of course, Coppah.

This:

To me, giving bikes whole new names like they're people or pets is silly.

[OreoGaborio]

This:

I should add to that post - "unless there's some creativity behind it or the bike somehow earned it". Too many people give their bikes crappy names just for the sake of giving it a name

But Gino's bike, for example (and I'm not just saying this because he's my teammate), is one of those bikes where at first I thought to myself -"Really, Gino? You named your bike Henry?" But after hearing the story behind it, it made more sense... 1 - cuz the name actually fits and 2 - cuz he's had it for so long and has put so much work, effort, blood, sweat & tears into it that it's more than "just a bike".

[mzdagrl]

Bump for cold weather!


My SV is "the SV" but my old Ninja250 used to be "Scootypuff" because it sounded like the scootypuff in that episode of Futurama.

[SRTie4k]

I just call mine The TLS. The only other bike I ever had a nickname for was my Z1000, and that was called The Zed.
