It's not really official, but it's usually the duc or the monster.  I had to start refering to her (I don't have a name but she's DEFINITELY a her) as such due to the fact that when I talked about my "bike" people had to ask, "the big one or the Cannondale?".

It's funny that I came across this thread today.

I'm just about done with the mods on my bike now that I have the DP cams and ECU installed. I let my friend take it for a ride today and he was blown away by the additional power it gained with the cams/ecu. As he came back from the ride he pulled into my driveway shaking his head up and down vigorously with approval. Upon removing his helmet the first statement he made was "This thing will kick the shit out of my 748 now."

After a few minutes discussing how much he really liked the bike now he mentioned that now that it's just about done I should name her. I considered naming her last year and came up with "Mia" meaning "mine" in Italian.

So Mia it is I guess.  [moto]

I've always called the '97 "Big Red".

I haven't had the inspiration to name the '01 yet.
Nobody said that I did. Everyone says that I would.

Mine has always been like a high maintenance and difficult Italian woman.  One that you know is not good for you but the sex is
so awesome and hot that you just can't end it.  Once you've had her, instead of being satisfied, you need more and more and... 

And she doesn't like the other bikes.  If I give them attention she demands her bling or Hp gaining modes just like a certain kind
of woman would want jewelry and stockings.   Hence her name "The Desmo B*tch

Just this morning I was in the shop and she said, "Cum ride me hard big boy, you know you want some, I'll make it feel so good!"   [bang] [bang]

When it is good, it is euphoric.

MotoCreations

Some bikes deserve names and some don't -- none of my Honda's ever got a name.

- My MotoCreations Ducati-powered custom bike is "DesmoDevil" (and that became the model name later)
- Old db1 was "Le Egg"
- Custom Ducati single cylinder project was "BoomTube Flyer" -- ironically the name got transferred to my exhausts
- "Black Fog" was a customer bike -- came to me while building it as it fit the bike's personality (memorable as well)
- "Princess" -- MV Agusta F4 ORO
- "Lucifer's Hammer" (upcoming customer project)
- "HyperDevil" -- customer DesmoDevil but with SBK (Hyper bodywork) -- plus the owner was a bit hyper
- "Aerolithe" -- a 4-wheeled 30's era French teardrop inspired creation which is a ground up project for myself

I actually end up naming almost all of the parts I create for Ducati's as well.  Something relevant to them typically.

I've never named anything that was inanimate. Not that I have an issue with it, I'm just not that connected. (or clever)
