All this talk of people disliking their bikes being referred to as a 'Duke' Do you actually have a name for your bike?? What's yours called??
Asked a million times. Answered the same a million times. No. And should never be. Ever. Names are for peolpe and pets.
They both have been called "SYB" (short for "SYBOIWHYC") in the past but generally they are called "the big one" or "the red one" and "the little one" or "the black one". I'm a romantic fool, I know.
Yes, mines called 1098R. Anyone who gives their bike or car a pet name should be dragged from their homes and given an IRA style beating! Except for girlies. Girlies are allowed to.
No, it's a motorbike, not a person. I too find referring to motorbikes as 'her' pretty grim. You can find pages of debates on reddit r/motorcyles with people debating names for their new bikes. Usually the Americans it has to be said.
Apart from the missus, the only thing ever refrered to by name or as a female is my van and only when I am trying to get up a hill and i call out 'g'wan Bessy!!' My grandad always did it in his trucks. Kinda stuck for that situation only
The name of mine it's not from a person it's from a piece of art made by one of the most genious guy the world has known!
We've had this thread before. I called my first MTS1200S "Mutley" as it really pissed off a few fellow owner's. I now have a Pikes Peak which I call Pee Pee....
