Fraid so!
BSA Gold Star was 'Rusty' because that's what it was when I bought it.
Bright yellow Hyosung is 'Sonny/Sunny' - never decided which.
The SV650 got to be 'Shiva' (Mostly because it was a SilVer SV, but I liked the idea of the god of destruction who danced the end of the world)
So far the SV1000 is just 'the bike.' It feels too serious a bike to have a name?

I haven't really thought about it but I suppose I could go with the "free ride" Since I'm a fan of the song by the Edgar Winter Group. That and I didn't pay for it.

First bike, an 81 cb750 I named Darcana, a buddist word that meant something like "the ultimate perception of the one true reality". I didn't have my sportbike too long, and never named it. I've had my VTX1800 about a year and just refer to it, as many VTX owners do, as my X.

Hello all
I call mine the "White Whale"
Mainly because it is a ex-police BMW painted ......... white ........
Looks big on the road and gets noticed.
My old XS1100 was called "The Pig", because it had a handling problem (went around left handers beautfully and handled like a pig on right, bent forks)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone
Ride safe
Fearless

Mine is named "Emily" because my kids are convinced her purchase was precipitated by MLC or Mid-Life Crisis. Kinda rhymes?!

Miss Evil is her name.
Just seemed right. After all, who's going to take over the world when I'm gone?
Some ideas for snwbrdr: "Geisha" or "Assassin" to follow the Japanese naming convention.
