Does your bike have a name? - Page 10

greg737 · August 20th, 2011, 06:11 AM

I've never intentionally named a vehicle but my Silver 2005 EX-250 became "Unique" or "The Unique" when I finished modifying it with fuel injection.

I just found myself starting to think of the bike with a name attached to it.

Kanestar · August 20th, 2011, 12:45 PM

I named my bike Naynay, i named her that because i argue with her when i stall out

There's got to be other folks out there that have names for their bikes. What are the names and details??

You're a nerd, and that's awesome! I'm calling mine "Lucky," on account of she's green, and also I won her.

Ricmon · August 31st, 2011, 01:42 AM

Well, because of my license plate (that has LM on it) I call it Love Machine XD

Momaru · September 14th, 2011, 11:45 AM

After almost three years together, I've finally named my bike, Perigee.

Technically, this is the point in an object's orbit around where it is closest to the earth. To me, that's the innermost point of a curve, a turn, a twist. It's also the counterpart of Apogee (the furthest point of orbit around Earth), which was also my favorite game developer when I was a kid.

Yes, I'm a nerd. I'm also a scientist by trade, so it works

ninja250 · September 14th, 2011, 11:48 AM

Mine likes to change names all the time.
She's currently "GUMBY" the Ninjette that conforms to your will or wont!

Lil_Green_Demon · October 9th, 2011, 02:24 PM

My bike's name is Zenith.

The "zenith point" is the point directly above your head in the sky. I liked that word ever since I took an Astronomy class early last year and I thought it'd be a cool name for my bike. I don't know what the zenith point has to do with my bike, but I like the word Zenith.

So I guess I'm not the only one naming his/her bike after an Astronomy term, though I'm far from being a scientist.

2010Zen · October 9th, 2011, 02:42 PM

My bike is named "Zen". When riding her I'm in an meditative state and in my own little world. Just her and I cruzing the road and facing whatever lays before us together as one. She looks out for me and I look out for her.

Heh, yep. Zenith's a solid name, and not a bad manufacturing company either.

I spent two summers in high school helping run a nearby planetarium at a museum. I'm not that much of an astronomy buff, but it was a boatload of fun and I still spend too much time stargazing.

Mr.E · October 9th, 2011, 06:28 PM

I saw it before, but I named mine Serenity. Because it brings me sweet serenity, also, it takes all serenity from others now because of her exhaust. Originally, it was too good to be named, but then serenity came to mind and I guess I just really like that.

NikkitaNinja · October 9th, 2011, 06:34 PM

Nikkita, hence the UN :P

Cam0 · October 29th, 2011, 05:56 PM

My car is louise (the lancer).

So I saw it fitting to call my bike, Kate (The Kawasaki).

Firehorse · October 30th, 2011, 09:29 PM

Need to change the name of my bike. One of the new models of small car is called Sonic.

Ducky the Kwaka was suggested. Funny yes but umm, no.

"Mr. Giggles" was suggested by my Bigger Half. He said I've always got the world's biggest grin on my face after a ride. That would work in an evil clown sort of way.

1LoneWolf · October 30th, 2011, 10:30 PM

I named mine's Sheila. Australians use Sheila as a slang word for "girl" (I'm not Australian). I was just looking for a creative way to call it "girl".

akima · October 31st, 2011, 03:45 AM

She's called Otohime ( 乙姫 ), after a goddess in Japanese mythology.

Japanese: because the Ninjette is a Japanese bike.

Female: because it's a Ninjette.

This particular goddess is said to have transformed into a dragon after giving birth to a son. A little known fact is that she later transformed into a Ninjette!

I couldn't decide what to name my bike since my car is green and called Kermit. Then my friends gave me these key rings after my ride home from the dealership. It had to be Yoshi after that. When i was a kid i used to cry when i lost my Yoshi while playing on the SNES, so I imagine i'll have the same reaction if I fall off my Yoshi (again) now

Several green Yoshi's on these forums.

I'm probably THE biggest Nintendo fan here and yet I got "stuck" with blue. Eventually, I plan to do it up like the Blue Falcon from F-Zero because the other blue-themed gaming themes I can think of aren't directly related to Nintendo (Sonic or Megaman).

That would be awesome! We had toy models of the Blue Falcon and Falcon Flyer when we were younger but my older sister always made me be the Falcon Flyer

i'll be keen to see photos once you're done

If i had a blue ninja, i'd call it Sub Zero. HUGE Mortal Kombat fan. A friend calls his R6 Kitana, for the same reason

nit8690 · October 31st, 2011, 08:59 AM

I have got the name for my bike Warthog. lol weird yes cool defiantly. so here is why...yes you can get a 600 1000 or 1400cc bike they all go fast and are just fine but then there is the 250 doesnt go as fast but still goes fast. and it gets the job done. and it gets it done well. now lets relate this to milliatary aircraft. yes the F-15 F-16 F-18 and F-22 are fast and do just fine but you got the A-10 Warthog wont go supersonic. but it will take out a tank. The A-10 Warthog is my favorite plane. it was deseigned to be a tough rugged kick butt plane and it does that job very well, and lets be honest they built the plane around the biggest gatling gun to ever be put in a plane. I am big into planes lol that is why I am naming my bike after one and what better then one of the coolest planes out there...that and I "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tag sitting in my riding back pack and it will go on the key ring of my bike.

DarC · October 31st, 2011, 11:14 AM

I just left mine as "RC". It's a little too butch to give it a girls name and it would be kind of awkward to name it after a dood. Plus it works with my user name Da RC!

Bolt 2, as in Snowball 2. My POS Snowball 1CBR250RR died after 3 months (she died, she died...) so I didn't get an opportunity to really get attached.

Thus, Bolt 2. Balthezar - if he's feeling faggy.

Sailariel · November 27th, 2011, 08:45 AM

My Green Ninja was named "Kermit"
The Red NT-700V is named "Merlot"--a mellow comfortable ride. Reminds me a lot of my old BMW R-50.

Yup, that's cool. Like Dark and Horse (equine???) Darkhorse. Awesome. I wonder if anyone has named their bike Solstice? Just wondering, since well, today is it.

Since I've had to rename mine, maybe Solstice? I usually ride in complete darkness. Hmmm...
