Wondering if it's the norm to name ones bike?

Am I missing out on something?

My Enfield Bullet (oxymoron!!) is called Lennie, although I have not named the buells, they are just plain old Laurel & Hardy lOl lOl

Welcome boudica.......

Hmmm... a bike needs character to be worthy of a name.

My ultra-functional XB12XT is referred to simply as "The Buell" whereas the slim, gorgeous, oriental stablemate is known rather affectionately by the somewhat imaginative soubriquet of "Suzi" :D

Hence the X1 being called Muffin and the CR still not having a name yet. :D
