My M696 is named Bella, as in "beautiful" in Italian.  She is also referred to as my hot sexy red-headed Italian girlfriend.

Ohhh, so GUILTY you should lock me up....

first v-star: venus, my man flytrap
ninja zx-9: buttercup, after that powerpuff character.  that bike had a bad ass attitude like her, and was the same color, too!
big vulcan 1500: fiona, like the shrek character, pretty to look at day or night
TL1000R (yellow): bubbles, another powerpuff character.  very beautiful, but would kick your ass at any moment
Honda 599 or Hornet (yellow): just the hornet, what it should have been called here in the USA.  Best bike i've ever owned.
The Duc (blue w/white stripe): Napoleon, since it's got the napoleon complex - thinks it's the biggest baddest bike on the planet, at least in the twisties.
second v-star: deuce, since it's the second one i've owned

Handcuff me and lock me away, guilty as charged! 

My wife named her Anabella.

...
it's vito, after don corleone.

mine is similar, i named her Apollonia 
after the Sicilian beauty Michael weds in exile

yeah i was definitely hit by the "thunderbolt" 

Seems like it might be bad karma to name your bike.  You might be more likely to dump it.  Don't ask why.  It's just a feeling I have. 

I haven't named the bike, at least not yet.  We are still getting to know each other.

When I was in  highschool I had this 87 Chrysler 5th Ave.  It was a boat.  It was Bright Gold, with Gold leather interior, and gold shag carpet and a "System".  We called it "Steady Pimpin' II: The Golden Nuget".    There was a Steady Pimpin' but she through a Cam Rod after 3 months...  Last time I named a vehicle. 

i called my old baby Tent...

.......now to think if a new name ....for a new baby

As with Army tradition I have named every weapon they have ever given me. Many differnt weapons only one name. 

Que? 

My '99 Cafe-Racer is named 'Monster'.  Not too original, but kinda fits considering the mad-cap collection of parts that it is...

The HD is dubbed 'Run Around Sue' btw...

when i refer to my bike i call it "The Ducati" and when i refer to my old non op bike i call it "The Kawi" or "the 750"

Fixed it for ya... 

I never named a bike or anything until I got the M1000SS.  I figure that because its a one-off, it should have a name.  Besides, Duck-Stew likes to name his creations and I think he came up with it.  So I guess I'm now a "namer."  I'll even probably end up giving my kids names. 

Black Betty

Usually it is a girls name but if and when I ever get the FZR done the way I like it will be called 'King Kenny'
