Is "Monster" the best motorcycle name ever?

[Old-Duckman]

Something got me thinkin' along these lines. I can't think of many names for a model of motorcycle that have as much class and power (not necessarily the bike...but the name of the bike) as Monster.

Some others came to mind:

Notron:
"Commando"
  "Commando" with "Combat" engine...often referred to as "Combat Commando"
  "Dominator"

Vincent:
  "Black Shadow"

Hodaka:
  "Super Rat"

Harley:
  "Cross bones"

Can't really think of any others that are anywhere near as good as "Monster"

I can think of some stupid ones...

Apriia: "Shiver"

Honda: "Dream"

Yamaha: "Virago" (means: a domineering woman...nice choice!??)

Hodaka: "Combat Wombat"

Harley: "Fat Boy"

Any additions to either list??

Rocket III - not the new Triumph, the old BSA

Laverda Jota. It just rolls off the tongue. And I think it means something vulgar.

Dunstall - as a friend pointed out, sounds like a southerner cursing his bike. It dunstall on me again!

John Player Special - how many bikes are named after a cool cigarette logo?

Vincent Black Lightning.

[Privateer]

how about Hurricane?  a name so good they had to change it so insurance companies would insure the bike.

I like my VFR Interceptor

[raulduke]

winner without a doubt....

Norton Combat Commando ...toughest name ever...

Vincent Black Shadow was a better bike ...but not even close in the name department

Triton.







okay, so maybe that doesn't exactly count... but whatever.

am I the only one who thinks the name monster is really lame?

yes.

I think Monster is actually somewhat of a weak name.  Whenever I refer to my bike I call it an S4R and avoid calling it a Monster at all costs.  I think the Interceptor is the coolest name, but I think it would better fit Honda's pure sporting class bikes rather than the sport-touring.

S4R? monster? does it really matter?  ducati as a make is not... necessarily recognizable, n'mind the model of bike... I could have an ST4 ABS, or a 999R, and most folk wouldn't know wtf I was talking about...

I'm sure aot of ppl here have suffered the, "ducati? who makes that?" question.
