what about    "Lucifers Hammer"

I always liked the Suzuki GT-750....not the official "Lemans" name, but the "Water Buffalo" moniker

Of course, other than the Monster, the best name is certainly the MV Agusta "Brutale"

A Little Off Topic, but the Japanese Car Manufacturers have some weird names going. I pinched this from another website:

Car Make: Daihatsu
“Daihatsu” basically means “Osaka engine manufacturer” in Japanese.

Strange Names for Daihatsu car range:

“Naked” - A car without clothing.
“Applause” - A big clap for you when you buy this car.
“Rocky” - Possibly named after “Rocky” the movie.
“Town Cube” - A car in the form of a moving cube.

Strange Names for Honda car range:

“Joy Machine” - A very kinky car.
“Acty Crawler” - A crawling car which looks like a spider.
“Life Dunk” - A car telling you that life sucks?
“That's” - A car "that is...?" (still wondering).

Car Make: Mazda
“Mazda” derives from the name of God of Wisdom in the early civilization of the West Asia, “Ahura Mazda”.

Strange Names for Mazda car range:

“Bongo” - A car which resembles a broad-horned antelope.
“Bongo Friendee” - A car which resembles a friendly broad-horned antelope.

“Toyota” basically means “the abundance of rice/wealth” in Japanese.

Strange Names for Toyota car range:

“Stout” - A car which resembles “Teletubbies”.
“Toyopet” - “Toyo” means “the abundance of” in Japanese. Most probably it means here “the abundance of pets” if you own this car.
“Deliboy” - A car suitable for a boy who works in a deli?

Car Make: Mitsubishi
“Mitsubishi” means “three rhombus” or “three diamonds” in Japanese.

Strange names for Mitsubishi car range:

“Guts” - A car with some guts to be a car.
“Delica Space Gear” - A delicious car with space-ship equipment.

Car Make: Isuzu
“Isuzu” gets its name from the “Isuzu River” in Japan.

Strange names for Isuzu car range:

“Mysterious Utility Wizard” - A mysterious car, a long lost cousin of Harry Potter.
“Giga 20 Light Dump” - A car with 20 gigantic super-useless lights.
"Mini Active Urban Sandal" - A car in the shape of an active mini sandal.

I'm pretty happy with "Monster". I wouldn't want a Ducati Joy Machine.

OUI

I personally like the name Hayabusa, a Japanese falcon whose main diet are small birds called Blackbirds

Here in africa the VW Polo don`t sell all that well as the word polo means penis in some african language. and no respectable black man want`s to be seen sporting a small white Polo

Once owned a VW Scirocco (Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and reaches hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe.).

IMO; US bikes are HD's Road King (most appropriate) and Night Train (very cool if you're into the blues).

combat wombat

Something that I keep thinking as I read through here, it was mentioned but I was wondering if the signiance was lost. The Monster was originally introduced by it's Italian moniker Il Monstro, I'm not sure when or how it was americanized but I kinda dug it.

another thing that irritates me is that monster energy drinks has combined with kawasaki. so when i search for "monster" stuff on ebay i get all of this motocross monster crap.

PENALTY
